It is hot


Really hot.

And since we don't have air conditioning....the only reprieve is water.

In any and every way, shape, and form~ we'll take it!


I got a sheet of plastic from the garage and made a waterslide for the children. Very redneck, with the carboys as weights and all.

The children think I am brilliant.


And yes, I totally slipnslided myself. I won't be showing you a picture of that.


You're welcome.

  1. hehe, that's fun! last year we made a slip and slide from a tarp. ;) My sister christened it the Tarp Torpedo and had the honor of doing the first run down. . . she chose to do the head first on belly launch - and yeah. We discovered the momentum created exceeded the distance of the tarp. . . . after much modification and addition of other tarps, it worked pretty good!

  5. Oh, I wish it would get hot around here! Even though I just posted about "Summertime" we really haven't had much summer yet. I want some HEAT!!! So we can SLIP-N-SLIDE!!! And SWIM!!! ANd BASK!!! (Although I don't think I'm brave enough or fun enough to slip-n-slide myself. Did I ever tell you what a "fun mom" you are? Even if we don't get to see your slip-n-slide pic. Schucks.)

  6. We plan to do a 100' slip-n-slide for our kids' birthday bash in a couple of weeks that is so very similar to yours! ;)

  8. Love the water slide!! What a fun way to cool off. We're in the midst of major hot as well.
    BTW, I sent you an email about the Wilson conference to the yahoo address. If you didn't get it, just let me know & I'll resend it!!
    I would say enjoy the heat, but I know better :)!!!

  11. We tried that growing up, with mixed success. Perhaps the cinder blocks anchoring the edges had something to do with it...
