DIY Slip-and-Slide

We faced a hot, sunny afternoon today. Armed with a 50′ x 3′ heavy duty contractor drop cloth, a package of U-shaped garden stakes, and several jugs of water, we made our way to a nearby park where there was a big hill and….

…..and made our own Slip N Slide!!

Emily thought this was the most awesome thing EVER!!!

We unrolled the drop cloth down the hill, and pierced garden stakes through it on both sides, every 4 feet or so to keep it in place. Put down some water, get a good running start…. and slide!!!

She did lots of giggling, slipping, sliding, and splashing!! (And I got to rest a bit and watch her wear herself out, although next time I might have to take a few turns myself!)

Who can resist this much fun???
