My Husband’s good friend has a lake house. They have a beautiful dock that runs from the beach out to the lake. On the dock, they have a variety of water toys for the adults to “play” with, but only a few for young kids. As we were planning our annual 4^th of July trip there, I decided to get a water toy for the younger kids to play with. I contacted ToySplash and they were happy to help.

For our review, ToySplash sent us a Giant Turtle Pool Ride-On inflatable toy.

ToySplash has a PLETHORA of water-related items including:  water toys, games, rafts, recliners, floats, inflatables, water sports gear, goggles, coolers, towels, safety gear, lights and cleaners. I am guessing that if you need something related to having fun in or around the water, ToySplash will have it!

The Giant Turtle arrived a few days before we left for our trip. He sat in our dining room and taunted us! We couldn’t wait to get to the lake to take our giant friend for a swim.

When the time had finally come for us to hit the water, we inflated our Giant Turtle. They crowd around us grew as they too were excited to see the Turtle in all its glory. Mr. Turtle was everything we had hoped he would be! He provided the younger kids with a fun ride through the waves. He also gave this big kid a relaxing rock during a spontaneous nap on the water.

We made a video with Mr. Turtle. Sorry about the video quality; I didn’t realize it was bad until we got home.

We created many fond memories that weekend with Mr. Turtle. He quickly earned a permanent spot in our must-have camping gear.

I think Mr. Turtle is going to need a friend soon; perhaps the Jumbo Whale Pool Float or Giant Frog Ride-On from ToySplash.com will join our family too!

Hello, my name is Laurie. I have been married to my husband for 14 years. We have two young daughters, ages 11 and 13 years old. My family and I live in Oregon so that means we are just minutes from the beach, mountains, and desert.  We love it here and try to spend as much time outdoors playing as we can. When we aren’t outside playing, I enjoy reading, gardening, refinishing furniture, and other crafts.
