Get a Kiddie Pool and be Your Kid’s Superhero

If you’re the parent of young children and you want to be a superhero then listen up. All you have to do is get a cheap backyard kiddie pool, and the kids will think you are the greatest.

If you have access to an air pump to blow it up (or in our case, the lungs of your unsuspecting husband), all the better. Blowing up floaties is one thing; blowing up an entire pool is quite another. Nearly passing out from oxygen deficiency may not be your idea of a fun-filled family activivty, but for a superhero, it’s all in a day’s work.

With the Texas heat already threatening 100 degrees each day, backyard water play not only makes for a fun afternoon, it could quite possibly be a life saver. But that’s just what superheroes do. They save lives. Some do it with superpowers. Others do it with a kiddie pool. Watch this movie.
