splishin' and splashin'

one of the most fun parts about our new swingset has been the amazing slide. it makes me want to go down it, and i have and it's awesome. so it wasn't long after setting up the playground that the kids started begging to put their pool at the bottom so they could slide into it.

this has made for some fun, fun, fun playtime. i mean, the kids have spent hours out there and they just never seem to get tired of it! i have a feeling that before summer is over, you might even see matt & i out there as well. :) we'll just have to get a bit of a bigger pool at the bottom first.





when they get to going down that slide & they're all wet they zoom through that water. we've even put the slip n' slide at the bottom & boy, oh, boy was that fun! but the pool is still the best. sure makes for some super-tired kiddos at bedtime, too. ;)

Loooove this! We did that the last 2 summers at our old house and it is THE best form of entertainment. Even better if you duct tape the water hose at the top of the slide so that there's constantly water flowing down.

We're going to have to try it here now that Drew's got his cast/splint off.

Quick question though...where did you get your inflatable pool? All we have is a hard, plastic one and with how fast this slide goes (even without the water hose), I could totally see a summer full of injuries for both our boys when they hit those hard sides.
