homemade slip n slide

What to do on a lazy Saturday when the weather isn't great for the beach but you don't want to stay indoors all day?
You make do with what you got!
We drove up to Hau'ula to spend the day with my sister and her kids.
Really, my kids would be happy doing anything (or nothing at all!) with their cousins, but since we couldn't let THAT happen...my sister busted out her kiddie pool and tarp and we decided to get a little (ghetto) creative.

 First off...the pool.  Which happens to be much larger and nicer than OUR kiddie pool.
We filled it up and the kids jumped in and out of it onto...

 ...the ghetto slip and slide!
Haha, basically a tarp with lots and lots of dish soap.
But in our defense, it was Melaleuca lemon dish soap so it's totally non-toxic and earth & kid friendly.  :)

 The little ones liked the pool better, I think.  

 While the older ones had way too much fun with the sprinkler and soap...


 It was pretty slippery. 
(Anna's dancing, by the way.  In case you were wondering.)
 But they all took turns slipping and sliding...

 And jumping over the sprinkler to wash off.
Hey, no need shower after this, right?


Good, clean fun on a cloudy day!
