[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a big fenced back yard.  We have an inflatable pool, small, but big enough for my two STB 9 YOs.  We also have a long water slide.  I can set those up so that if they want to be outside with water, they can play with the pool, the slide and have water gun battles (we have some of those water tubes that shoot water).  We have bikes and scooters.  Since we can't take skating lessons now, I'm thinking about getting them roller blades to keep up.  We have tennis rackets and our neighborhood has private courts that have not been closed down.  There aren't that many people who use them, so  hopefully we can find a time when there aren't others using the courts.

They can do things in the yard and driveway while we're working.  Biking away from the house and tennis will have to be evenings and weekends when we're not working.  And they have the Nintendo Switch and shows they like on Amazon Prime and books and some home crafts they like.  We'll be fine.  It will be hard, and I may be doing a bit more with them during the day, but fortunately, my employer allows me to flex my time so that as long as I get 80 hours in over 2 weeks, I'm okay.  I may be working more evenings and weekends, but I'll find a way to make it work.[/quote]

What kind of water slide do you have? I just bought an inflatable pool because I'm afraid there will be a run on them if more pools start announcing they won't be opening. We have a little plastic slide but I'm wondering if I should get a larger inflatable one. [/quote]

Our HOA won't allow inflatable pools except the little kiddie pools.[/quote]

I would love for my HOA to try to come tell me I can't have an inflatable pool in my yard if the HOA-controlled pool does not open this summer. I will raise hell.[/quote]

Send them an email and ask if they will be loosening the rules this summer.   If enough people ask, maybe they will allow it. [/quote]
