Slip-n-slide

There have been some technological advances in slip-n-slides since my day. Note the self-watering slide and the bumpers to stop you at the end instead of allowing you to skid on bare grass. Kids are so pampered these days!

His comment at the end: "If you want to know about fun, that's it!"

    CODDLED! In my day, we slid off the end of the slip-and-slide and straight onto bare concrete!

    What's this? A child actually using this thing per the directions? I know I was much more reckless as a kid. Well done!

    I'm glad the slip and slide lives. I loved ours when I was that age.

    Good capture. One that captures the essence of being a kid on a sunny day. Cheers

    Oh yeah, that's what I'm talkin' 'bout. I remember playing on Slip'n Slide and I'm old ;0) This is the most entertaining video I've seen so far.
