The afternoon after the last day of school has turned out to be the last sunny day we've had in a while so it was the only time the girls have gotten to use their brand new slip n slide. For anyone who has tried to do this, you know it is not a natural thing for your body to want to do. You are supposed to run as fast as you can at this mat covered with water and then belly flop on the hard ground where you will then slide across the uneven surface until you run out of momentum. The manufacturers have made it as deceptively easy as they can with an inflatable boggy board to cushion your belly and a water filled pillow at the end to stop you if you get going too fast. You can fool neither me nor my girls! WE know that this must have been the invention of some idiotic teenage boys with a hose and some torn up garbage bags that didn't have any sense to realize that careening across the ground head first was not a good idea! And no amount of fancy accessories are going to get us to follow suit!
That said, the girls still managed to have fun and get wet in their own unique ways without succumbing to the idiocy!
