This is what "going to the pool" was like when I was a kid. This is like the crappiest excuse for a pool ever, but they are still pretty fun when you are a kid in hot and humid northern VA. The most horrid part was all the skanky little blades of grass that got in the pool. No matter how craptacular this pool may be, it will be present at my white trash BBQ later this summer.

The blow-up wading pool is imprinted on my memories of summers as a kid. Best not to think about what was in that water by the end of the day.

Great fer coolin' off the kiddies and makes a great beer cooler in a pinch! (via Fashionkitty)
