Add some summer splashing excitement to your backyard with a Little Tikes Slam ‘n Curve Slide

New posts, Outdoor Toys, , ,

KLittle Tikes Slam n' Curve Slideids love playing the water and what’s better than swimming and splashing in the summer?  How about sliding down a curving slide to shoot out into the cool waters of a splash pool?  Sounds fun, doesn’t it?  It is!  I can tell you first hand and that’s because despite the fact that I am in my 30’s, and not in the recommended ages range of 5-10 years old, I’ve been down the slide more than once.  There is a weight limit of around 300lbs so I felt OK about enjoying the Slam n’ Curve Slide with my kids.  We had a blast!

The Slam n’ Curve Slide from Little Tikes is designed so parents can see all the action.   I sit on the back porch while my kids enjoy the slide and splash pool.  The splash pool is just the right depth for Madelyn (3 yrs old) to enjoy while Sebastian goes down the slide again and again and again.  It never gets old.  The Slam n’ Curve Slide is made of puncture-resistance material and includes everything you need to set it up including stakes, the blower which inflates the Slam n’ Curve Slide in about 1 minute (no kidding!), a repair kit, and storage bag. A fun inflatable rock wall is the way up to the slippery slide with an optional spray of water (turn off or don’t hook up the hose if your kids don’t want the water spraying on them) coming down from the canopy at the top of the rock wall. The curve at the end of the slides makes for nice, fun, splash into the refreshing pool.

Here’s a short video of my kids enjoying the Little Tikes Slam n’ Curve Slide.

6 boxes of ice cream in my Frigidaire!

Frigidaire, New posts

I was so excited yesterday when I was able to put 6 boxes of ice cream on one shelf in my new Frigidaire Gallery Refrigerator freezer!  If I wanted to, I could stack another 6 boxes on top of these and have 12 boxes of ice cream in my freezer!  Whoa!  I know it’s pretty silly to get excited about fitting 6 boxes of ice cream on a shelf in my freezer but prior to having my new Frigidaire Gallery Refrigerator, that was nearly impossible.  We are having a big 4th of July party this weekend so unfortunately, 5 of the 6 boxes .. if not all, will probably be gone by Monday.  Oh well, they look pretty now.
