This weekend we picked up a pool 12 feet in diameter and about 2 feet deep and plopped it in our backyard...I found it posted online from a woman wanting to get rid of it for free since it takes forever to inflate and it's hard to find the hole that's releasing air in order to patch it. Anyway, despite the downsides (it takes hours to fill and it's not as deep as Laney would like), the kids are in love with the pool. It creates a mess of water in the house when they come in and it's exhausting to fill it up but it keeps them happily occupied in our backyard for hours while I'm working and getting dinner ready. I wish we had a swing set or something fun they could play in with the neighborhood kids...I'm hoping to purchase one as soon as we move--if we ever do move!
