Wonderful news, Amy! So glad she can get her swim lessons in.
I had some neighbors down the street who had smaller kids and they bought a pool similar to what you described. It even had a little ladder and maybe a sliding board. It was a nice looking thing but when the season was over, they would just let it set and eventually throw it away. The next year they would go buy another one. Those things they bought looked like they would cost quite a few dollars.
I hate to be caddy but they sorta did everything that way. Like “half way cut the grass”...well, they just didn’t take care of things the way they should. Those kids would leave their bikes leaning against the curb at the street where anyone could steal them overnight. Its really none of my business.....LOL! I try to preserve the neighborhood!!
I know we will never be able to get it back in the carton, but I’m hoping I can get an extra large plastic container and get it stored there for the winter.
I bought this one ‘on sale’ for about $100.00. It gets so hot here in July and August that I know she will get more than that out of it. I will also take her to my friends apt so she can swim in a real pool 4 or 5 times this summer.
I try to think of fun things to keep her busy during summer break. It is too easy to let her watch TV ... easy for me but she needs to be out doing something physical.
