africa slip-and-slide

They slip-and-slide (butt naked, mind you) right across the road from our house. They run along the porch and slide--on their stomaches, their bottoms, hands in front of them, or spread out to the side. It has just rained (more like stormed) during this afternoon in Africa, everything beautiful and muddy and wet. They slip and they slide, and we laugh and we laugh. This version of slip-and-slide is very new to us Americans, to say the least. And so, this is where the ever-famous phrase "T.I.A." (This Is Africa) is the only thing my team and I have to say as we watch this absolutely crazy fun (secretly wishing we could join in).

Pictures do not do this moment justice, so I'm not even going to upload the ones I have. This video comes closest to capture the ever-awesome African Slip n' Slide. So yeah, enjoy.
