[quote=Anonymous]GET A KIDDIE POOL!

Get the large-ish one for $30 or so - like 10 feet by 20 ft (roughly) with three inflatable rings.  I just looked at the target site - we used to buy one every year from Target - and I don't see the one we used to get.  So start looking now for it before they sell out.

When the kids were that age (I have teenagers now) we would put that in our back parking pad and it would entertain them all day lng.   We'd leave the water in it for two or three days, them empty and clean.   (and like someone else said, we'd put it away, do other things, then bring it back out in a few days).

The trick is that you really need something to put under it, as it gets slippery and the kids fall onto hard concrete (or the concrete causes tears).  So we got those padded square tiles that interlock and made a mat that went under the pool.

Seriously, this summer could get bad if we're still social distancing and it's hot and no pools are open.  Adults can even get in.  I'm thinking of getting one for my teenagers!  They could just cool off or float around in it for a bit just to cool off.

Also, in our gardening beds we planted super easy things - cherry tomatoes and cucumbers was all we really had space for.  The kids also loved eating things right off the vines.  [/quote]
