Our family is very lucky to live across the street from an outdoor swimming pool. The kids and I spend a lot of time there during the summer and it is something that they never get tired of doing. They have all of their lessons there and it is a great way to spend some time together as a family in the evening.

This year, as they were getting the pool ready for the season, the kids noticed that they were bringing in some brand new inflatable slides. You would have thought that it was Christmas at out house and they could not wait for opening day.

There was another week before it opened and it was all that they could talk about. I decided to make them some obstacle courses in the backyard to try and keep their mind off of it, and though it kept them entertained for awhile, the new toys at the pool were all they could talk about.
