What to do? What to do ? The summer’s just about here, your child is celebrating another birthday and she wants a pool party… but you don’t have a pool! The hardest part about being a parent is being unable to fulfill certain wishes for your children. It’s highly unlikely that you can build a pool overnight for the cost of a value meal. So what’s the alternative? No se me pongan tristes amigas. You can still have a party full of water in your very own backyard. I promise. Ask invites to: “Come and experience Panchita’s WaterWorld Fun”.

Here I go again sending you to the dollar store, but they have most of the goodies you will need. Things like water guns, water balloons, snacks, ice pops, foam ice chests, and of course sun block. Purchase a decent slip n slide for about $35 and a water sprinkler. You can even go as far as renting an inflatable water slide from most party vendors. For food, make small sandwiches or hot dogs, something quick and easy, long with ice cold lemonade or iced tea.

One of the most important things to remember is safety. Anytime you have multiple children, sweets, and water all in one consider all possibilities!
