pool deal

If you had to throw away last year's wading pool because the sides split open when you tried to fold it up to put it away for the summer (curse you, cheap Walmart pool!), then you should run to Target right now and buy this one instead.

I had been eyeing it because it looked roomy and comfy and more durable than our previous one, but at $30 it didn't seem worth the risk of repeating the Great Wading Pool Disappointment of Aught Eight. But at $14.99, how could I resist?

So far, it is working great, as you can see in our test case:

Looks great! We got a Walmart one this year...we'll see how long it lasts. How do you keep your water so pretty...ours has all sorts of grass and junk floating in it...yuck!

Miranda - it hasn't gotten too hot yet. 80s this week, hitting low 90s. It'll get to the 100s later on, though.

Lynette - ah, that's because it's the first day! I need to get one of those aquarium skimmers so we can clean the dead bugs out every day.
