Do you get in the kiddie pool?

Do you get in the kiddie pool with your kids? I'm off for pool duty. They enjoy it so that is what matters. Sometimes I wish we had a bigger pool but it would just be more to take care of.

We have a big pool (15 ft round by 4 ft deep) I have only gotten in a couple of times with the kids, though. I just am not a real pool person, though strangely enough, I enjoy doing the up-keep on it. I am always outside watching when they are in it though.

The pool we had last year and this year have a slide (inflatable) and the slides make a great back rest for just lounging!

You're too funny!

I play with them for a little while and then get out and watch. Our pool is 8x30 but I think it ony has about 2 ft of water in it.

We have a big pool (15x42) and a kiddie pool. I have to say that I enjoy the kiddie pool more!!! It's made out of hard plastic so the water in it warms way faster in the sun! I've only been in the big pool a few times.

We have a large star-shaped pool that's probably 5.5-6 ft. across and can hold about 2.5 ft. of water - tho we usually fill it about 1/2 full for the kids. The idea was for us to be able to hop in and cool off - but we've ended up using it in the front yard more than the back...and I'm 8.5 mos. preggo at thsi point. I'm nice enough to NOT subject myneighbors to seeing me in a bathing suit..much less having to get up out of a pool while wearing one.

Do what you need to do to be comfortable when you are pregnant. My dd #2was born in November. I didn't care who saw me in my swimsuit when I was pregnant. I wish I could still get away with wearing my maternity suit. My dh won't let me wear it.. lol.
