Backyard Pool

I’ve been hunting for a backyard inflatable pool for two summers now. I am willing to wait to get what I want for the right price. And then, I found it this week: a large pool with a slide and without silly dangling toys. It was exactly what I’d been looking for, but $20 less than the price on Amazon. Done! We’ve been enjoying what I fear are our final hours of time off and sunshine today!

The pool!

Kicking

Silly faces

Hooking up the ski boat to the trailer. The slide doubles as a boat launch.

Jumping!

Oh-how-I-wish-this-was-in-focus!

JT has been gaining confidence in the water and loves to practice diving and swimming.

This is how he looked a lot of the time!

Haley was ready to get out and dry off after about two jumps. She was not thrilled with the temperature.

Clean and dry!

JT noticed a bug floating in the pool and suggested I get the strainer from the kitchen to take care of it. This was quite a production and he proceeded to spend many minutes cleaning out the pool. Good stuff.

It was a wonderful afternoon!
