When you turn the water up full blast it really comes out of the giraffes mouth! But the little one doesn't like it. So we turned it up when the little one came out of the pool. We were so proud of getting that pool for the girls. And then the same week the other Grandma got my DD a BIG pool. I was 'one-upped' by the other Grandma!!! She had no idea we had bought it though.
