Inspired by their expedition to the water slides on the other side of the Scioto, the boys built one of their own. By built, I mean cobbled together PVC pipes and garden hoses on our swing set slide. Of course their is nothing Rube Goldberg about such a construction in a child's mind's eye; from their perspective it is a glorious creation that will only grow more magnificent as time passes.
The neighbor kids joined in the fun, but at the core of it was Michael and Alex, Alex and Michael. They are different people, but perfectly matched. I say it over and over again, but the best gift we have ever given Michael was Alex. One day, we won't be here, but it makes me happy to know that in those days they will have each other.
