White Trash Water Park

Kristen is having a party over at We Are THAT Family for her 2nd blogging anniversary. She has asked those of her readers who are brave enough to link up a "THAT Family" moment of their own. I had a couple to choose from but this is the most recent. So enjoy the rerun and go check out We Are THAT Family for lots of "THAT Family" moments.

Original post: 8/25/09

My hubby took a couple days off this summer to spend with the kids before they headed back to school.
That's right, no vacation for Team Babetz this year...
Or last year for that matter, but that's a post for someone else's blog.
This is Team Babetz and there's NO WHINING on Team Babetz
{cough, cough... clear throat}
Well on with the story!
There we were all set to go.
Hair combed...
Clothes on frontwards...
Shoes on the right feet...
We were headed out the door to Lowes, because where else do you go when you have time off...seriously!!
When we got out the door we found the local water company had come to flush the fire hydrant line.
You know whats coming don't you???
It all started so innocently...
Just wanting to touch the water and wade in it a little...
Even the littlest member of the team got in on the action...
But us being who we are an all...
We couldn't just walk through it...
Or splash in the puddles it made...
Oh no...
We had to swim in it...
We had to drink it...gross
Sigh...
Because nothing says white trash like...
Making your front yard a water park.

Rebecca F. told me I should check out your blog sometime, so I just did :) This post totally made me laugh!! Especially because 1) My brother and I had the same fun when we were young and had flooding in our front yard/ditch, and 2) I am always telling Dave that certain things about us scream "white trash"!! ha! Too funny . . .
