Sprinkler to empty kiddy pool

I have this fairly large kiddy swimming pool which I fill up to the top for my kids. After a full day of swimming on sunday, it's time to empty it out with all the negel vaaser cups.
The kids have a great time doing it, but I find that the grass doesn't get watered properly and all I end up with is a water logged area around the pool and the rest of the yard stays dry.
I'm looking for an invention out there, where I can attach something from the pool to my hose, to the sprinkler. Somehow to pump the water out and evenly water my lawn at the same time.

you can try a submersible water pump and attach a sprinkler to the hose.
no need to reinvent the wheel, the pumps exist already. I think we got ours in home depot or walmart. get a small one, our small one can pump out water up to the last 1/5 inch or so.
I havent ever tried it for the pool, the kids love emptying the pool and it keeps them occupied so I dont mind the soggy lawn, but I think this would work
