Summer fun! - water slide.

One of the things we set up for Little Cute's birthday party was our own water slide. I saw the idea in a magazine several years ago. It was the year that all of those ginormous blow-up water slides started showing up. There was no way that I was going to spend $200. This alternative has been really fun to have, especially on the really warm summer days. If you have a play structure in your backyard, you can make one too. ☺

Here is what you need:
2 camping mats
1 tarp
camping stakes
a sprinkler

Lets make a water slide!

Take your camping mats and place them under your slide. I like to roll one up a bit so that the girlies don't bump their bums. ☺

Place the tarp over the mats and tuck under the slide. Use your camping stakes and place them around the tarp.

Turn your sprinkler on and voila, you have a water slide!

 

Now you have hours of fun!

If you need some more slip-in-your-slide, a little dish detergent goes a looooong way. ☺

Happy summer!
