Blowing bubbles!

We have a very old pool that is in need of repair. Today, the pool guys came and installed a pump to drain out all of the water. Big problem..... where to put the water? We have a large drain outlet, however, when the water level started approaching the top, I then had to start watering the grass! Thankfully we have a fence to keep out the dogs and Nick, therefore no one is going to fall into the pool, which is now empty!!
