Laptop in Critical Condition

It was a hot and sunny day... so my kids wanted to play out in the yard with their "Slip & Slide."(1) Fine with me. I stuck a folding chair in the shade for myself, and as I was on a roll writing a fic, I decided to take my laptop outside with me. (A very wonderful Christmas present from my dh!)

I was a safe distance from the water--( I thought )

Yes, these are my kids in the photo (a few years ago). I thought I should remind myself how cute they can be when they aren't being destructive.
