Who Needs a Slip-n-Slide....

when the kids can make this?

Home-made water slide!

Look what happens when kids come up with their own ways of having fun using things from around the house! 

And for a variation on a theme, who needs a trampoline when they can make this?



Run...



 jump...



...FLIP!  (He lands on his back, not his head!)

I appreciate the thought and creativity that went into these endeavors.  In fact, it reminds me why I refuse to give into the typical gadgetry which seem to be so popular among children these days.  And surprisingly, we have yet to experience a trip to the ER....  Nevertheless,I would much rather have my children build and experiment though activities such as these than have them "exercising their thumbs" with video games...  I'm "old-school," and proud of it - and my kids are not missing out on anything!
