FYI - Slip-n-Slide





e
FYI
Topic - New Slip and Slide

1. This is the first official "slip-n-slide" I've ever owned and I think it will probably be the best $9 spent this summer. BUT we may still snag some visqueen from the farm on our next visit (I think I still have some pics of Uncle Casey, cousin Abbey and cousin Justin on the visqueen slip-n-slide on the farm many years ago).
2. If you do get the slip-n-slide - splurge for the 20 footer instead of the 16 footer - or just use those .25 cent table covers you got at the after Easter sale to extend that sucker another 10-12 feet - it adds color and character.
3. If you spray it with water - they will come - the whole neighborhood.
4. 33 year old Mama's should not have to teach their 3 and 4 year olds how to slide on a slip-n-slide but if it has to happen make sure there are no cameras near-by...the neighbors have gone inside...and the kids are watching the first time so there don't have to be repeats, or three-peats, or four-peats. OK - really after the first time it was so much fun I had to try several more times - the grass burns and bruises will fade but the memories will last forever... but not in pictures!

Aren't they a BLAST !!?? We have had SOOO much fun with this! And I love the idea of extending it! Try putting a little bit of soap suds on it, Samuel (and maybe Mama?) will love that!
