Summer fun


Even before this current heat wave, we made many attempts to find the right water play for our huge yard. First we tried a slip and slide, but but is was a bit boring. We even put it on a downhill slope, which made it more exciting, but the kids' slid beyond the end of the slip 'n slide on down the grassy hill creating multiple belly abrasions----not good.
These pics are our next attempt. It's a little pool with a blow up whale slide. The whale has a spout that sprays water. It looked great in the box but once we set it up, it was very small. The spray was great as a sprinkler and created a rainbow in our yard, but only the little ones could actually use the slide.
