Outside Water Bed

Our Spring Break was very quiet.  We did a few fun things, but for the most part we played with friends, played with each other and hung out.  We visited Grandma and Grandpa Jordan and went to the park with them and....we made an outdoor water bed.
My friend, Carrie, found this idea and emailed it to me.  It looked like so much fun.  I picked up the supplies at Home Depot and Gavin helped us put it together by duct taping plastic sheeting together.  We filled it with water and we were ready.

The kids really had a good time with it.  It was squishy, cool, refreshing, wiggly and something different than we had done before.  Enoch said it was like laying on Jello.  Plus, it held up better than I thought it would.  They laid on it, rolled on it, jumped on it, had a great time and we only had a few minor leaks.  Even Coal ran across it a few times and, amazingly, no holes.

The kids had a wonderful time.  And the best part is we only used half of the plastic sheeting, so we can make another water bed later this summer!
