Slide addict!
Slides are a big part of his day to day activity. He loves em so much we even bought him his own little house slide.
57 and counting on this day.
He simply just can't get enough of them. I, on the other hand, am glad to see the end of it when those weary little legs kick in.
Seeing that this boy revisits whatever slide he encounters in constant carousel like motion, I decided to keep track of the number of times he took the plummet on this particular shute and I decided to let him go until he had enough.
I couldn't believe how much energy the boy had. Just say one plummet and one point of return takes an average 20 seconds. Going off count 57, he had been sliding, running around the bend, climbing the steps upto the platform, for in excess of 19 minutes.
I had to pull him aside and tell him that his little arse would be burning with friction by now, but of course he wouldn't understand a word of it. So instead I offered him an oreo in the car.
On a sidenote, I must say iPhones (5 and up, not sure about the older models) make great handy action cameras. This shot I held my thumb down on the shutter creating multiple burst shots whilst swiftly and quickly panning the phone in the direction of the downward movement. Creating the diagonal blurry streaks in the background which nicely gives the picture a sense of motion.
