THIS WAS SO MUCH FUN!
We invited our very dear Small Group friends over for a somewhat impromptu slip-n-slide party. We have the perfect hill for it...just steep enough to be fun, but not a chore for little legs to get back up. I was planning on everyone just bringing their largest tarp, but one of the men suggested that we use 25'x10' plastic sheeting (from Home Depot), and stakes to keep it in the ground. It was AWESOME, and worked so, so well. The kids (and quite a few of the grown-ups...) had a great time. We kept it wet, and used No Tear Baby Shampoo to make it slippery...I think that every mom there agreed that it definitely counted as a bath! We ended the night with banana splits on the porch, and a very happy (and tired) crew of kiddos. Definitely doing it again next year!

looks like a blast!!
I'm tucking this idea away. Sadly, we don't have any good hills in our neighborhood but that looks like SO much fun. Love it!
Les, could you please just move next door to me and do all these fun things? You've definitely got to be the best neighbor ever!!
I'm with Sarah - good grief! You're going to have to start fighting off invites from small groups, neighbors, etc. just to get to play with you guys. This is such a fantastic idea! Flat Texas this wouldn't work so well, but LOVE, LOVE it!
You really got some great pictures, Les! Totally captures all of the fun the kids had- they're still telling me how "AWESOME" the giant slip n slide was. And of course, I head all about their sundae creations. Thanks again!
Oh my word that looks like some BIG FUN! Great idea. You know the kids are going to beg for it every single day! ha!
OUr neighbors do the same thing with the home depot sheeting...my kids are spoiled for "normal" slip in slides. :) what a fun night!!
I'll echo all the others -- I wish we had a good hill at our house!! I remember we did this for the campers when I was a camp counselor. SO much fun!! I think the big people have more fun than the kids.
Looks like so much fun!!! I love anything with water!
If only I had a hill...
Just found your blog and love it!
