As much as we hate to say it, it seems summer is starting to come to an end. The leaves are changing, the days are starting to get shorter and before you know it, it\u2019ll be time for the kids to head back to school. Most parents say this is their favorite time of year. The kids are back at school and the adults get some peace and quiet during the day again. While this is parents\u2019 favorite time of year, kids dread it. The bliss of sleeping all day and staying up all night is over. Instead kids have to go back to early mornings, piles of homework, and having a bedtime again. And with the season coming to a close, your family\u2019s chances to use the pool are becoming less and less. So why not make the most of the little time left and have a back to school pool party? Kids get to have one last blowout before school and the parents can celebrate the kids going back to school! Here are some ideas to ensure you have the best party in the neighborhood.<\/p>\n
Pull Out All The Toys \u2013<\/strong> All pool owners stock up on toys. Noodles, large floats and inter tubes, water guns, you name it, and it\u2019s probably in the pool shed. Most people don\u2019t like pulling everything out at once because it never gets put away. For this party, take everything out! This could be the last time the toys get used this summer, and what\u2019s a pool party without toys? Toys are fun for the adults too. Chase the kids around with water guns, lounge on a float, the possibilities are endless.<\/p>\n Feed the Madness \u2013<\/strong> Swimming takes a lot of energy and what\u2019s a party without food? You\u2019re already outside using the pool, why not fire up the grill and make some hot dogs and hamburgers? They\u2019re quick to make, everyone loves them, and they\u2019ll keep for a while, in case not everyone is ready to eat at once. If you\u2019re a horrible cook, like me, order some pizzas. Or better yet, make it a potluck. You supply the main food and every guest brings a dish too. That way there\u2019s plenty of food to keep everyone energized and the party can last all night!<\/p>\n
