Slip-n-Slide!

Nathan set up two slip-n-slides in our backyard and invited our nephews over to slide. When we first set up, we couldn't slide very fast so we got creative. First, we tried putting soap all of the slide but it didn't help much. Then we tried sliding down with a boogie board, a float, and a mat. I suggested moving the slide to another location. After complaining a bit, Nathan moved one of them and discovered it worked much better. Then Nathan got the idea to put the two together to make a longer slide. At the end of the day, we all had some bruises (including me and Nathan) but we had a lot of fun.

trying different ways to slide

Poor Weston was trying to copy Nolan and Brandon sliding-only he was doing it in the grass! You can also see that they weren't sliding very far!

Finally, we moved the slides and connected them to make one big slide. It worked well!
