Top 10 Summer Splashes
One of my fondest childhood summer memories was spending Friday afternoons at my Grammie and Pop’s pool. My younger brother and I would spend hours sitting on the pool steps giggling as we splashed each other with water or held competitions to see who could blow the best bubbles (“car washes,” as well called it) with our faces in the water. Back then, and even now, the pool functions as one of those “must-go-to” summer spots. The atmosphere of water, grass, families, and laughter couldn’t be better place for family gatherings. I’ve put together a list of 10 pools where I think you as a family will enjoy spending a day, afternoon, or even just a couple hours.
