Inflatable Splash Slide

Another glorious summers day today with near 28 degree temperatures which resulted in an impulse buy for the kids. We was in Basildon picking up some last minute bits for holiday and collecting some currency when we saw this pretty amazing inflatable water slide outside QD's. We figured all 3 kids would get ample use out of it over the next few years and it hopefully solves the problem of having a paddling pool in the garden which starts growing mould after 3 or 4 days!

 

The slide was dead simple to set up. It was pretty much a case of unfold it, peg it down, connect the hose, connect the fan and then we were off. Surprisingly the hose only needed to be turned on very slightly to get the water jets down the slide working effectively.

 

Brandon and Joshua were very excited to try out the new inflatable water slide.

What a great little smile from Brandon.

Joshua was makes a descent down the slide. The naughty monkey tried climbing up it on a few occasions as well.

Great splash landing of Brandon.

I am pretty gutted the water slide is only for the kids as I would love to have a go. Still never mind only a few more sleeps and its off to Cyprus where I can enjoy some proper water slides at the water park. Once the novelty had worn off for the boys and they decided to dry off, I then stripped Holly down and sat her up in the plunge pool for a while. She really loved splashing around and cooling herself down.

I was expecting tears from the little girl due to the cold water, but instead she loved splashing in the water.

What a beautiful little smile from Holly.

Splash, splash, this is more fun that bath time.

Another lovely smile as Holly soaks up some sun.
