Slip Slidin Away

So our neighbors have a little above ground pool...


You know the kind they sell at Walmart... it's about 3 feel tall...


Well my kids have been inviting themselves over to swim...


I know, I am raising some well mannered kids here.


Well, poor neighbor has 2 year old triplets and doesn't need my 4 in addition to her three.


Not to mention the damage the pool would no doubt undergo...


So I bought my kids a Slip -n- slide to keep them in their own yard...

They have had a great time with it.This little one took a spill on his first trip down so he decided to stay at the end and kick water around instead.

And poor baby... just has to watch from the door. She doesn't mind though, it's great entertainment.

Then I noticed the other day that they took the hose off and started chasing each other around the yard with it...filling up holes they've dug in the yard with water and playing in them...making a water slide out of the swing set slide.

They call this the "water swing"...

So why did I buy that Slip -n- slide again???
