Children never cease to amaze me! This Gives New Meaning to Going Green!

Hi Warriors,

My Grand Daughter asked me if I would buy here a water slide.
I asked her how much money she has saved?

She replied "Only $311".

I laughed and told her to ask her Mother and Father if she could spend
some of her money to get a Water Slide. She then told me she didn't have
enough money to get the water slide. :confused:

I said what? How much is this water slide any way?

She said "$600"

"I didn't even know they made Water Slides that cost that much so I said
lets go take a look at this thing". We hoped into the truck and drove to
Wal-Mart to take a look.

On the way there she started telling me more about the slide.
I asked her why she wanted such a Big Water Slide and she said, "Well, I
was thinking that I could have friends over to play in it and when we're
not playing with it you could rent it out to other people for Birthday party's
and we could make some money!

I thought that was a darn good ideal so I bought the darn thing...lol

We've now had it since last Friday and her and a few friends played in it
over the week end. Heck I even got on it...lol

This thing is heavy duty. The draw back about it is that you have to
keep a blower that is connected to it running all the time or it will deflate
and the pool at the bottom will empty wasting water.

Any way, Today I received a call from one of my Grand Daughters friends
parents wanting to know if they could rent it for two days while they have
a family get together.

I called my Grand Daughter and asked her if that would be OK and she
said "Yes, that's why we got it". She also asked which days they wanted it
for? I told her this Thursday and Friday.

OK, Here is the deal, $100 a day for two days. Now my cost has been reduced to
only cost me $400. In another week after the word gets out about it I suspect that
we will be in the Green...lol Talk about Going Green!

Here is a picture of the Water Slide from Wal-Mart's site:

Have a Great Day!

PS, I don't have my camera with me at the moment so I'll add or replace
this picture with a picture of her and my other Grand Daughter playing on
it later this evening.
