$20 can go a long way

Toward the end of June it was getting nice and hot. With 4 kids, 2 of which don't swim yet, going to a public pool isn't really an option we can entertain very often. So I got a $20 blow up pool that was 10x6. Every 2-3 days we would empty and move it and refill it (as to not kill the grass). The girls have loved it. It is by far the best investment we've made all summer. It's just big enough for them to jump in and cool off and they are just creative enough to think of about a million games they can play in it (American Gladiators, etc.) Addy decided one warm evening it would be fun to run in the neighbors sprinklers and jump in our pool with her clothes on. They had a blast. I had no idea they could squeeze that many kids into a pool that size.
