For some reason these are always the best pool snacks for us. </p> <p>1-3 is the hottest part of the day, is there anyway you could do it from 10-12? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poolside-play-date#post-798320 Tue, 21 May 2013 13:46:32 +0000 regberadaisy 798320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: yay! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poolside-play-date#post-796156 Mon, 20 May 2013 15:32:35 +0000 birdofafeather 796156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>fun! i'll have to find someone with a pool to do this with R! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poolside-play-date#post-795667 Mon, 20 May 2013 13:18:09 +0000 regberadaisy 795667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lavender: let me know if you come up with any other ideas! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poolside-play-date#post-795479 Mon, 20 May 2013 12:19:29 +0000 regberadaisy 795479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: brilliant!

I was thinking of watermelon in the fruit salad?</p> <p>I just bought one for M but I don't really want to buy a bunch of floats and not have regular use for them. So good call on providing the link to the Amazon $5 one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poolside-play-date#post-795422 Mon, 20 May 2013 12:04:55 +0000 looch 795422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am stealing your idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poolside-play-date#post-795418 Mon, 20 May 2013 12:03:54 +0000 mediagirl 795418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely have water available. As a snack I may offer pretzels and watermelon - or something equally refreshing. How fun, a pool date!!</p> <p>Do you have pool floats for babies? Maybe suggest people bring a baby float and send them a link to the cheapy $5 one on Amazon if you don't want to buy a bunch? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poolside-play-date#post-795408 Mon, 20 May 2013 12:01:17 +0000 regberadaisy 795408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a inground pool in our backyard and I'm thinking about hosting a poolside play date later this summer!</p> <p>There'll be a 4 month old, two 1 year olds, one 10 month old and another almost 2 year old that will be invited.</p> <p>I would ask everyone to bring their own towels. It will be between 1-3 pm. I figure we can provide beverages and some light snacks like a fruit salad and pouches for the kids.</p> <p>And sunscreen in case parents forget! We have a UVB protected play tent for the littlest one. :)</p> <p>What other tips/suggestions?</p> <p>ETA: I pick 1-3 so we don't have to provide a meal but it is also the beginning of the hottest part of the day...thoughts? </p>
