The best part about being a parent is that you finally have an excuse to go back and buy all these toys that you wanted as a kid, but your parents never got you. Case in point, a slip n' slide. When I was a kid, I always wanted one of these. The closest that I got was to put down some trash bags in the front yard.... totally ghetto. Well, today at Target, I decided to get one for C and I to play on. Not only that, but it has tie fighters and x-wings all the way down the slide, culminating with the death star station in the mini-splash zone pool at the end. so dope.

The best part about it is that once you get the thing up and running, there's a huge warning that states the product is for 12 years and younger... whoosh, there goes the 30 year old dad down the slide, dodging tie fighters and splashing into the death star.

Oh yeah, C liked it too.
