For years growing up I wanted my parents to get a swimming pool. I was a water rat back then and couldn’t get enough of playing in pools. It took many years, but eventually my sister and I were able to break down my parents and talk them into getting an in-ground pool installed in our back yard. Actually their decision was probably independent of our pestering but it’s nice to think otherwise.

I stumbled upon this the other day, and let me tell you if I had one of these – It probably would have been taken away from me within about two hours of it’s first use! Regardless, it’s way cool. Definitely one of those things where I’ve got to wonder why I didn’t think of this sooner!
