"Banzai Blast!"

The box read, "1. Inflate 2. Assemble 3. Make a Splash!" I looked at our new water slide that our friend Tom had donated and shrugged at how easy assembly was going to be. After pulling all the pieces out of the box and noticing one of the items was labeled, "motor." I used my astute reasoning abilities to realize that if the girls were really going to use it within the next hour, I had to call in some help.











I don't know what "banzai" means but it was a blast!

The guys had the second shift and so then took it down. They said the deconstruction directions specifically laid out, "Before deflating, ensure all children have left the apparatus." I am so glad for helpful directions.

I think that Dad learned way back (when you were a toddler!) that "quick and easy to assemble" written on the box really means "not so quick and most definitely not easy to assemble"! Who writes these intruction sheets anyway?

Looks like bunches of fun! Thanks for sharing...

Ames, this thing looks awesome! Where was this when we were kids? the slip and slide was never as great as it looked. But I'm sure this banzai was great!
