Day 56 Stinky Pool Toys

Yesterday my daughter bought 2 blow up rafts for the pool, brought them home, blew them up and tossed them in the pool. In a few minutes she was sunning herself floating in the pool on one of the rafts. Then I saw the rafts tossed on the lawn. It seems the rafts smelled to badly that they couldn't use them.

The smell came from the toxic chemicals used to make the PVC vinyl soft and pliable. We will be replacing the floating PVC pool toys with noodles and have learned a valuable lesson.
