BONZAI!!

We wanted to get a pool for the kids this summer, but Lincoln requires a 48" fence around anything deeper than 18". We priced out fencing and it will be $5,000 to fence in the back yard (for a $49 pool). Needless to say, a pool is out of the question at this time.

We splurged and bought a Bonzai inflatable slide that requires no fence. The boys absolutely love it, and it's easy to move around so we do not have to sacrifice a patch of grass for it.

I tried it out and had fun until I jumped out a bit too far and landed on my tailbone and then caught my toe and just about broke it. I swore I'd never get old, but it seems I have no choice.
