Enough For Everyone

With three kids it’s always nice to come across something packaged in threes. It doesn’t happen often – stuff is usually in a two-pack or some other even-numbered variation, and we end up having to go with a four or more pack which makes sure everyone gets one of whatever it is, but with which we also end up with extras.

Anyway, while trying to find some fun stuff for the kids to do outside I came across a “Triple Wave Racer Water Slide.” I had only ever seen the single slides and I was instantly interested. I remember having to wait patiently for my turn when my neighbor friend’s Slip-n-Slide was set up each weekend – and the longer it was out the longer the line got as other neighborhood kids made their way over too!

The reviews, while pretty good, are also accurate – it’s nowhere near as long as what it shows in the picture above, and you do need to move it around the lawn if you don’t want huge gouges in your grass (ours bounced back pretty quickly though). It was easy enough to inflate with an electric pump, and while the spray didn’t arc as perfectly over the slide as it does in the picture, it did keep the slide wet and gave a good spray.

Overall it’s been a huge hit. The girls were outside for hours and there wasn’t a single tiff over whose turn it was. That alone was well worth the $20!
