body lotion, skin creams When it is hot outside just about everyone would rather be soaking up the rays then cooped up inside. I used to live in Arizona and anyone who lives there or has been there in the summer knows how hellishly hot it can get. One of those hot summer days last year, my roommate Chris had the genius idea of making a slip and slide out of a couple tarps that would wash out into the pool. It was a great idea, the only problem was we didn’t live on a hill for a natural slide and keeping a hose on all day is not exactly water conscious. We started brainstorming. Chris thought we could build a plywood ramp from the roof down to the pool. The sun had gotten to his brain.

All of a sudden he smiled and said, “grab all of the body lotion and skin cream you have.” Puzzled, I went to the bathroom and pulled out some standard body lotions. He was already outside spraying skin creams all over the tarp. I joined in, then we hit it with some water to moisten up the situation. Wall-La, in no time we were running, jumping and sliding lighting fast into the now body lotion clouded pool. It was a great day.
