Keeping it Cool

This is an excellent idea.  We've used it for an outdoor (at the park) baby shower.  The pool cost us less than $4 and fit in the trunk of our car.  Fill it with ice, then add food and drinks.  It kept everything we needed to chill, cold.  It was also a fun thing for the kids during clean up.  Once the food and drink items were removed, the ice was melted but still cool so we placed it on the ground for the little ones to play in.  They had a ball!
