World's Longest Slip and Slide by kwind

World's Longest Slip and Slide

Not a great shot and not even taken by me. My husband built this for the kids while I was in San Francisco last week and took this with his iPhone. I didn't use my camera today and I thought this was worthy of spot in my project. He used a 100' (30.5m) long piece of heavy plastic (it's normally used by insulators) and tacked it down with screwdrivers. The used a huge costco size jar of dish soap and a hose and had the time of their lives. I seriously think I have one of the best husbands on the planet!

Here's a FB video taken a different day with my daughter and her friends: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10152147893771150&l=6079421396938548413

@bella_ss That's our house in the distance. We have a long sloping driveway from the road down.

Cool

Lovely to see this ........your house looks great .....an interesting looking barn next door! Your husband is very enterprising & a perfect child minder!
August 2nd, 2014  
@happypat That "barn" is our neighbour's house. It's a rather strange looking place with a flat roof and shingles and brick siding. It's been there probably 30 years. A plastic surgeon, his wife and five kids rent it. It was for sale and we looked at before we brought our property but it needed a LOT of work and my carpenter husband wanted to start from scratch. That lot is long, like ours, but really narrow.

I thought it was an old disused barn.....didn't realise people were living in it! Much nicer to have brand new & modern......I fancy going open plan & modern in our last house. Will downsize in the next couple of years nearer into the village....something like yours would be fine haha !
August 2nd, 2014  
@happypat I highly recommend an open plan.
August 2nd, 2014  
@kwind Oh, I love your house! You can call them for dinner and they will be right there :)
August 2nd, 2014  
How fun ! They really covered their bodies with soap ? I thought it was water.....I would love to try ;)
August 2nd, 2014  
We occasionally have a similar slide set up in the local park, always looks great fun. As here they look like they've had a great time

That is an awesome slip and slide and a great addition to the family album!
August 2nd, 2014  
Oh, I bet they've had a lot of fun with that! Nice one.

Great shot.

Wonderful, but not showing my kids because I'll what the next request will be
August 3rd, 2014  
That looks so much fun - nice shot!
August 4th, 2014  
That video was fun!! :-)) It doesn't look like there is that much slope to the site, but I guess the soap on the plastic helped! They looked like they were having the time of their lives! BTW, your kids are total "whities"....guess they don't live in So Cal!

@panthora I'm a sun nazi and make them wear sun shirts and hats and lots of sunscreen. I drive them crazy! Gage's chest has never seen the sun. I was away so he convinced dad that he didn't need the sun shirt. My husband has first nations in him and tans more in ten minutes than I do in a season. He rarely wears sunscreen. Unfortunately, both kids got my skin.

I think it's a pretty cute picture!! and fun slide!
