Meijer had really good prices on inflatable pool thingies today. We got a whale. It took aeons to blow up, causing me nearly to pass out. And then we couldn't get it out the door, so we threw it off of the balcony. Getting it back indoors afterwards was ... interesting. So now I have a killer whale sitting out on my balcony. It's *huge*. Sarah loved it, and we played in the pool for quite a while with it. :-)
