Keep Your Drinks Cool with a Pool

Last Update: July 04, 2012

Happy Fourth of July!


Today many people will be celebrating Independence Day with a picnic with friends and family. We always go to a park and share the day with family. One of the fun things from last year was the pool full of ice and drinks.



After the drinks were gone and the ice was melted the children played in the water and cooled off. It was very, very hot last year and the pool was a hit. It looks like this year it is going to be a scorcher.

I am planning to take some Ziploc bags filled with water and pennies to the picnic. If you read the post Perfect fly and creepy crawler deterrent written by jatdebeaune you know that that this trick should keep the flies away from the food. I am not sure if the flies will come out today because it is so hot, but if they do I will be prepared.

Hope everyone finds a special way to celebrate today and keep cool.

Happy Fourth of July
