I think not.
For Caroline's 16th birthday party on Saturday, we broke out the now-traditional plastic roll and had a BLAST! The girls were even on the 9:00 news that night on Fox 13!
Max was unstoppable. We tried to take turns, but he always ended up going underneath everyone and suddenly we'd see him doing this down the slide -
You'll notice, there's grass cuttings all over everyone's legs and clothes because you go SO fast that you end up passing the end of the plastic and skidding across the grass! Some of the kids (and Gerritt) got a good 15 feet on the grass alone! (***Note to self - DO NOT wear a swim skirt with just a swimsuit bottom underneath. Grass enema, anyone?)
Carrie's cute twin friends!
Even though the grass wasn't slippery, Max HAD to take the "path" up every single time. He's showing the OCD tendencies...
We did this from 3:00 until the sun was going down at 8:00 - and kids were still going while they were rolling it up! SO FREAKIN' FUN!!!!
And, Max's reaction to taking it down.....
I'm thinking, next time we go, it's going to involve these -
and this!!

Fun, I know what I'm doing for Shane's birthday next year, ha!
Man, I want a turn! Where do you go about buying a giant roll of plastic like that?
That looks so fun! Yeah....where do you get a giant roll of plastic?
It's from Home Depot and it's used as a dropcloth for painting projects. It's really really wide and super long, so it's PERFECT for this! :)
Oh my goodness!! That looks like so much fun. We HAVE to incorporate this into our lives somehow! I love it. Your Max was adorable!!!
Fun! That sounds like such a blast! How did you get it slippery?
We've done that before at a friend's house. The kids had a blast..And that husbands!
That looks so fun! I have actually never been on a slip and slide, of any kind. But that looks way awesome!!

i think the baby oil and blow-up animals would be very appropriate.
