Not 10 Anymore

This weekend I found out the hard way that I am not 10 years old anymore.

To kick off the 4th of July holiday weekend, a group of my friends and I paid homage to our 10 year old selfs and went Slip n Sliding!

The actual slip n slide is an old outdoor vinyl from one of our clients at work. Its a whopping 14 x 48 feet! A little bigger than the crocadile alley slip n slide we had when we were kids.

We hooked up the hose at my old duplex and ran it across the street to the park. We soaked the vinyl down with water and baby oil to make sure it was nice and slippery. And then, we let loose!

We proceeded to slip n slide for the next 3 hours. Pain started to settle in after about an hour. I have also never had so much mud and grass in places where it doesn't belong.

But, as you can see...we had A LOT of fun!

And, we did save the vinyl so we can break it out again before the summer is over. We will just have to be prepared for the pain that our 10 year old bodies didn't seem to feel.
