Slip 'n Slide

061109slipslide.jpgMy memory of the Slip 'n Slide revolves around both fun and bruises. While an old fashioned run through the sprinkler will help to avoid body slamming pain of the Slip 'n Slide, it has continued to be a kid favorite since 1968! The original has evolved into a whole line of products, including slides that double as sprinklers like the ladybug, caterpillar, and salamander shown here.

In the L.A. projects where I grew up, "Slip 'n' Slide" meant an old shower curtain and some buckets of water! It's still a great memory, though.

For me, a slip and slide was a large roll of industrial sized plastic my grandmother had for some reason. We then had that plastic going down the slope of my front yard onto the sidewalk. No wonder i wasn't a fan, lol.
