Slip and Slide

So we have our very own swimming pool in our back yard. We have had it for years! But somehow my sweet daughter makenna talked me into buying a slip and slide. I said makenna we have a swimming pool and she said but mom it gets boring. Can you believe that? I just chuckled and caved when I saw they were only $7.00 at walmart. So needless to say they have been having a blast slipping and sliding all over. They usually swim then go slide then swim then slide. Good old fashioned summer fun! Mindy came over and reminded me of the ones we used to use when we were little. It consisted of going over to grandma cowley's house, finding a roll of plastic and lay it down on the grass. Then we would go and get dish soap and spread it all over it and add water and ta da you have a getto slip and slide. We loved it as kids. In fact I think I have pictures somewhere of us. I will have to look and post them if I find them. Good times! On a positive note...all the excess water has helped the back yard grass look awesome!

What fun! I crack up because we are whining about wanting a swimming pool. I guess I need to take my $7 and go buy the boys a good ol' slip and slide!
