Flip-Flop Fiasco

Yesterday, my friend Christina and I took our kids to the park to eat lunch and to let them play so that we can have a break. As soon as we got to the park Tayler's flip-flop broke, so she had to run around the playground trying to keep it on her foot. I think she just ended up taking it off. After we ate and the kids finished playing we walked over to the fishing pond to let the kids feed the fish the leftover french fries they did not want. Right as Christina told the kids to be careful and not fall in, we look over as Porter fell into the pond. He was trying so hard to throw his fries super far, that he ended up throwing himself in. Porter said it was a good thing that he already had his swimsuit on.

I though for sure he was going to panic and cry, but instead he pulled himself out and started laughing. He thought it was hilarious that he went for a "swim" with the fish. After we made sure he was OK, we noticed that his flip flop was floating in the pond. Some people nearby hitting a pinata for a birthday party gave us their stick to see if we could pull it out. The stick was too short. We figured we would just have to wait until the flip flop floated to the other end to retrieve it.

The girls thought it was funny that Porter fell in and that we had to wait to get the flip flop before we could go.

While we waited, we realized that both Porter and Tayler had flip flop issues and they were both on the same foot.

It took a good half hour before the flip flop made it to the end of the pond. The kids used the extra time to finish feeding the french fries to the fish and laughing that the fish were going to eat Porter's flip flop.

We had a good time and a good laugh at the park and made it home with a good story to tell. Kids sure do make life interesting!
