Big Water Slide


Remember this behemouth from last year?  This "world's largest inflatable water slide" was a big favorite last summer.  It was stationed near our home and we visited it several times over the summer.

Well this summer it has a new home, closer to town, and somehow we've gone all summer long without a visit.  So today was the day!  We headed over and the boys jumped on.


They sure come down that slide FAST!

The problem is, they sometimes hit the "wall" at the end of the slide pretty hard, since they're so out of control.  But the boys made a game of trying to slow themselves down enough to not slam the wall too hard.  By the end of our visit, they had found their groove and were having fun.


  Benny usually did a giant flip at the top of the slide before landing and then sailing down.  It was something to see!


There he goes!


The rain clouds held off long enough for us to get our visit in, and leave when we were ready--worn out and wet.  I'm sure we'll be back again soon!

You know, I was just thinking about this slide the other day! I was wondering if you guys had been already, and if so if you had blogged about it (and I had missed it).

That slide is something else. And if it starts out with a flip (Benny-style), I think I'd have to look away and just hope for the best.


Glad it was a fun day.
