Play in the water

My daughter loves to play in the water.  Some days it is very hard to get away to the pool or to the lake, so she has to make do with playing in the water sprinkler in the yard.  This I do not mind at all.  She gets to play in the water and my yard gets some much needed water on it at the same time.  The pool is only about a mile away.  Call me old fashioned but I think the parents need to be at the pool with their kids. It is not a handy dandy baby sitter for the summer.  You need to be with your kids, it there so everyone can have fun at the pool.
