he who got the hose first, was king.
unless someone took the initative to fill a pot and stand on the roof.
-we had a couple of super soaker 50s but it was joel had the cash to go buy a blue supersoaker 100. Adrian Latore had the SS200.
if you bought cheap water balloons at the Little Store, they'd break whilst filling them up in the kitchen sink.
i remember those 1foot deep plastic pools in the backyard. after a day or two of play, they would sit stagnant, full of grass and dead bees. for some reason it would take days until someone would empty it out, leaving a beautiful sun-starved dry grass dot in the backyard.
slip 'n slides were cool. but no one ever wanted to roll it back up.

slip 'n slides were cool, however when the crocodile mile was too torn to be tent-pegged down another time, daddio came to the rescue and supplied us with a large clear square piece of plastic (probably left over from the last "addition"). It was big enough to cover the entire right sqare of the front yard- and it rocked! Charity snuck some of the Joy from under the kitchen sink and after mom saw how much fun we were having on the new and improved, saxman version of a slip 'n slide, she didn't get mad. We never saved our newspaper money for real slip 'n slide again after this one.
