Play in the water
The kids love to play in the water and some days it is very hard to get away to the pool or to the lake, so they have to make do with playing in the water sprinkler in the yard. This I do not mind at all the kids get to play in the water and my yard gets some much needed water on it at the same time. The pool is only about a mile away and I will not let my kids go there alone, call me old fashioned but I think the parents need to be at the pool with their kids. It is not a handy dandy baby sitter for the summer you need to be with your kids, for everyone to have fun at the pool.
