Summer vacation is just around the corner and families across the country are looking for some new ideas to entertain the kids in these months before the inevitable return to the classroom.  The days of the simple water gun, water balloon and slip and slide are past; the offerings of today are exciting, creative and even the parents will want to get in on the action.

Other exciting products to look for this summer include Hammacher Schlemmer's inflatable water ride which is equipped with two water chutes for the kids to enjoy before plunging into a splash pool.  Also a ten person water totter, in which the boys on one side can take on the girls on the other to see who can rock the teeter-totter hardest and splash the other team.
