Summer Swimming!

I know what you all are thinking - no the playground wasn't enough of a build, we are tackling a swimming pool as well.

All of our neighbors have managed to purchase the large Walmart plastic pool (18 ft X 4 ft) and put it up successfully.

We must be the exception to the rule:). Our pool is struggling. Tommy is still working on digging the dirt and leveling the spot. Cross your fingers!

In the meantime, don't tell the children that the pool could look any different. The propped up, off centered version with a foot or so water in it, is their idea of a dream vacation! They wake up twice daily begging to go swimming in their pool with their new Shrek goggles (god bless the dollar store for always having what we need at the perfect price!).

The current version is still holding water - and doesn't require mommy to get in. A nice ice tea, perfectly placed chair, and I can dip my feet in and swear I saw every "see what I did" for the whole afternoon!
