We set up our small wading pool in June. It was just right for those early hot days and the boys found great pleasure in splashing each other (and me, if I got too close).
It has been a very hot summer and a little cooling off was necessary.
And, really, who doesn’t like to just relax by the pool?
It has also greatly enhanced the boys’ tans this summer. We’ve managed to avoid burns but they are very tan. Especially Tommy.
And then there is the fun of teaching the boys to “lay out” and dry off.
We had a bigger pool purchased already, but didn’t want to set it up until after our Fourth of July trip to California. So we made due with our small pool and everyone had a good time – I even got in and enjoyed chilling for a while! (Sorry, no pictures of that. I’m sure you are bummed by that!)
