Going Poolside...

2 weeks ago, my wonderful husband went out and bought us a "family" gift....a new pool! We have jokingly named it the "Ghetto" pool as it is one of those really easy and simple affairs of blowing up the top ring and filling it up with water. It's not huge or even that deep, but it is so nice to have something to jump into during these hots days we're having and it is absolutely perfect for the boys! They can splash and swim and play all without having to worry about not being able to touch the bottom. The first day we set it up and started filling it, they HAD to get it and wouldn't take "NO" for an answer. Despite the freezing temperature of the water, they hopped in and had a blast just walking across the bottom on their hands. By the time we were able to fish them out, their teeth were chattering but they definitely thought it was worth it. We finally got it filled after stressing out my poor well for a few days, and the boys were definitely ready to jump in for a swim....and then the rain started...and lasted for almost a solid week. Crud! Now they had to wait for the water to warm up yet again, which is so hard for a little boy to find patience for. Luckily the rain moved out and the sun started shining and my boys have turned into regular little fish. One could say we are now having a "splashingly" good time! :-)

They don't look cold, but their teeth were sure chattering!

Having a good time despite the cold water....
Uh oh...it's a shark in shallow water!! :-P

patiently waiting for the ladder to be added....they were so excited!
Ian came prepared with goggles and snorkle....Spiderman, of course!

Took Trev a minute to get all the way in..the water was still a little chilly!

Trevor likes to hang on the side and splash everyone.....
Our new pool....Ghetto style! lol
