Slip n Slide





A slip n slide has to be one of the most simple inventions to endure the years. I'm not sure when exactly they were first sold, but I know they were around when I was a kid. Thankfully, there have been a number of improvements. For example, an inflatable barrier at the end of it, also the end is designed to pool a small amount of water to splash into at the end of your run. It also has a place for the hose to tie directly into, which is so much better than relying on your sprinkler. But it still kills your grass if you leave it up and rips pretty easily.
Dylan and Austin have been enjoying theirs this summer. We actually have 2 or 3 of them which is good because they are not that durable. They have mastered the head first, feet first and on the knees slide. Fortunately they haven't tried the stay on your feet slide yet. Brady doesn't want anything to do with it yet.
