There were a ton of kids in my neighborhood and we all really wanted a Slip N Slide, but none of us had parents who would buy it.

So we improvised.

We took wallpaper and aimed the hose down it. Viola! Homemade Slip N Slide, BUT (!) for some totally unknown reason we put it on the driveway! We all had perfectly good yards, so I have no idea why we thought this would be a good idea.

This kept us busy for hours. When one girl got an actual Slip N Slide we didn't like it. LOL!

Then I wonder why I have a bad back now as an adult....

LOL..! I remember when my mom finally broke down and bought us a Slip and Slide we would put laundry soap all over it..Man we would be sliding all over the place! the soap proably wan't good for the grass but heck parents were more concerned we were having fun! rather than what the grass looked like! anyways my brothers had to mow it with that push lawnmower that you had to empty the bag!

I think the game *TWISTER* was a back problem waiting to happen!LOL...
