Since we don't have an underground pool in our backyard (which is really a must-have for summers in Texas), I decided to go out and get us an old-school, ghetto-fabulous, blow-up pool that would be fun for all the Johnson's! I couldn't believe how many choices there were at our Darget (Target in Nicky-speak). They had ones with jungle scenes and attached elephant slides; ocean themed with a whale slide; super-duper slides with small pool area; splash-tastic ones with all kinds of squirters; rectangle ones; round ones; blue or green; you name it! I went with your typical, garden variety round one - color: green; special features: cup holders (for water or lemonade, of course), and a built-in bench seat thingy. Not too shabby for $29.99 (sidebar - I just love that stores make things one cent less than the next dollar amount so that, in this case, the item can be "under $30!" - like saving one penny really enticed me into buying this particular one! In reality, the cup holder part is what sold me!). Anyway - Nicky's Granny and Poppa also brought us one of the splash-tastic variety of "pools", therefore, we really needed something we could all float around in, and something that Momma could lounge in during nap times! Nicky is still undecided about the splash-tastic pool, but he loved that the turtle from that one was removable and brought it into the "big pool" with us. Here are some pictures of our fun this past Sunday...
