Staying Cool!

    Last night we bought a small pool at Walgreen's for $59.00 with a $20 mail in rebate.  I think it is worth the $39.99 to stay cool in our own backyard.  We barely had enough flat space in our yard to put it, because we live on the side of a big hill.   Our plans for this summer are to say cool and save on gas money by staying home as much as possible.

It looks like a great pool, and I bet your kids are excited. We also invested in a little pool, and the best part about it is that it is easy to fold and store.

Those pools last a while. In the fall we empty ours and roll it under the deck. We are going on year #3! Have fun!

I too have one of these pools but mine is 16 foot round and 4 foot deep, I love it, so easy to clean, and easy to put away in the winer. I have had mine 4 years. I had to buy a new pump this year, it was $75 but well wort it. I used to have a big above ground pool but had it taken down, I am disabled and it was too much work for me.

My MIL bought one of these last year and the kids loved it.

great idea, we have the ocean to swim in here, but now that would keep us way too cool , LOL

What a neat pool, Anne Marie! Your summer plans sound good---staying cool in the pool; staying home to save money and swimming in the pool when it's sunny. Yes, I just got home after a long day of teaching and helping out at the dojo and my brain is fried.

Summers is here. Hot in California. Pools are the only way to cool off some days. Looks like you found a good one.

Looks Great! I regret getting the pool we have, Jack doesn't like it. I never get to use it, the grandkids get more use out of it than anyone.

Don't know how I missed a bunch of yours, so I'm going to play catch up now!!! I used to buy these pools even when the kids were older, and I'd get in it with a book!

Staying home may be almost everyone's idea this summer with gas prices skyrocketing!
