We bought this little hippo pool for $10 last year and it has provided hours of fun for the girls. Mike put it at the bottom of the slide and they have been having a blast making up different scenarios to play out. Here is a short little video of the most fun you can have with a kiddie pool.
On a completely unrelated note I want to mention the duckie you see in these photos. It has lived in our backyard year round since 2009. It has been played with by dozens of children, survived the elements including sun and snow and it just stays intact and blown up. I am starting to believe we accidentally got one made of some secret government test material for the military 😉
