We broke down and bought a pool last weekend. I wish we would have had it for that super-hot spell last week. But I'm sure there are more hot summer days ahead. It really doesn't have to be all that hot for the kids anyway. They could hardly wait for us to get the pH and chlorine balanced so they could finally take a dip on Monday (the temp. was only around 70-75). Now we've got to get some fun toys to play with in the pool!
Look how big our sunflowers are getting!
How fun. We've been thinking of getting one too. We have such a nice big back yard as well as some kids that will enjoy it. Of course adults can enjoy it too.
ReplyDeleteBe prepared for ongoing costs. We had to go out and buy a bunch of chemicals to keep the water good. Sheesh!
ReplyDeleteWe can't wait to swim in it! I read a cute sunflower idea once. They tie a ribbon around the flower when it reaches the height of their smallest child, then they spend the rest of the summer watching the ribbon grow sky-high.
ReplyDeleteYay, we finally found your blog. Your kids are so stinkin cute!
ReplyDeleteDid you end up keeping it? Loved the photos and your new blog photo at the top.
