Good-bye Slip 'n' Slide, Hello Backyard Inflatable Water Park

So, when I was a kid, all we had to splash around with on a hot summer day was a Slip 'n' Slide. And I didn't even have one of those--the neighbor kids did. All I had was the sprinkler. Man, was I ever a deprived kid. Look at what younguns can cool off and entertain themselves with today:

The Backyard Inflatable Water Park.

"Rising 10 1/2' into the air, this is the backyard inflatable water park with a tunnel slide that passes beneath a larger traditional slide, both of which are constantly irrigated by built-in sprinklers and have splash pools at the end of each, making it ideal for summer fun."

Ten and a half feet tall? Gee, that old Slip n Slide seems more and more inadequate...

Of course, the water park is $500, compared to $20 for a Slip n Slide. But on the flip side, if you get one of these big boys, you'll have all the neighborhood kids hanging out at your house (I'll leave it for you to decide if that's good or bad).
