Pardon the absence from blogging, the fam and I just had the funnest weekend with the Palmer side of our family up in Heber for our family reunion. It was wonderful and I will post more on it later. At the beginning of the summer I saw this idea floating around the internet and knew the boys would love to do it. I stuck it on our bucket list and finally got around to it last week on a hot Saturday afternoon. I was watching my sister's kids so she and her husband could go out for her birthday and I thought the kids would love this. Josh and I used these instructions to make it and just tweaked it a little. Can I say for the 100th time how much I love what a good sport Josh is to go along with my schemes. He is such a good sport even when it comes to putting together PVC pipe for a bike wash instead of doing things that he would rather do.
I used plastic table clothes for the streamers and just stapled them over the PVC pipe. 
The kids played with this all night and the next day as well. As you can see it wasn't the safest as the kids had to duck their heads to go through it. We ended up cutting a few of the strips out so the kids could see what was in front of them!
It was so fun for them and got them good and soaked. 
McKay wanted to get into the action with all of the kids as well. They would pick him up and carry him through the bike wash. He loved it! 
I am glad that the hot weather hasn't left yet and we have had the chance to do a few more summery activities. I LOVE autumn and everything that it brings with it, but I just haven't had my fill of summer yet!

Where did you hook up your hose so you could have water spraying out of the pipes?? (I'm assuming you must have hooked up a hose to the pvc pipe in order to have water coming out of them)? I am amazed that in every picture I looked at, I could see no hose! :) :) :)
So fun! Seriously where do you come up with things like that!
If we had the room to storage something like that; I would totally make it!
That is awesome! I hope you kept it, looks like a serious good time! And I love the pictures you got of it. So cool!!!
Lynette-You can see the hose in the first picture. It is on the bottom right side. That is funny you can't see it. I guess with it being black it is a little more camouflaged.
Catherine-I get ideas EVERYWHERE! I love the internet because I am always finding fun stuff to do with my kids.
Amy-We did keep it. Next summer we will have to invite all of the cousins to come over and get their bikes washed :)
