j proclaimed,
‘i’m going to swing into magic land.’
we’d been waiting forever
for a chance to play outside in the rain together
there was a fence
branch was weak
chair was shaky
toes were tippy
b created a magic rain slide
“let’s make it soapy”
it was so slippy-flippy
there were great leaps and a great slides
making for
a great afternoon
we got very wet
fell down
slid on the grass
crashed into stuff
got pretty muddy
laughed so hard
best of all
none of us were injured
and it was pure magic.
roald dahl would understand completely.

Exactly! If more had time to play – and did so – there would be so many more smiles and much more magic discovered.

Loved this but my favourite line is the one that takes you away from childhood fun to the experiened mother you are,
‘none of us were injured’.

Yes. Add a bubble machine blowing bubbles right across it, and add to the hilarity as they try to swat bubbles while sliding. 😀
