Heeeeeeeeeeere's The Pool!

Well I know you've all been waiting patiently for pictures of our pool, and here they are! We bought filters and a starter kit with chlorine and all the necessary acoutrements, including a polar bear floating thermometer, and I shocked it and balanced the ph and did all sorts of stirring and testing and VOILA.

Our Pool


Hayden checking out the temp.

A different angle so you can see how our yard is laid out. Me in the pool. It's not too deep. I'm sitting. It could be somewhat deeper, but we decided to leave it this deep so that Hayden (and Anya) can be comfortable. It's about rib high on him.
Lacey visiting us in the front yard on her leash. She's usually tied up at the side.
Jake grilled some watermelon. It was weird. I didn't like it, but apparently people do this. Jake didn't know that beforehand, but we googled it afterwards, and yep. They do.
Hayden's very watermelony face.
If you imagine this watermelon is a clock, check out the 6 position. Hayden bent down and bit it.
Sage loves watermelon too.
And so do I :o)

SOOOO jealous of your new pool! I would love to have a yard (with grass, that is) and today was 19C so it would have been nice to have x1a0a1cooled off in a big blue pool. Since the thermostat was reading 24C in the house, I dragged Rachel's box of toys out onto the deck and we filled a mixing bowl full of water for her to splash in. She promptly tipped it over and flooded the deck, but she enjoyed herself immensely. After seeing pics of your yard, I now have to do a posting with pics from OUR yard. Basically, we have a unique combo of dirt, dust and mud. Oh, and some gravel. That's why we stay on the deck in nice weather. Enjoy the pool!

What a big pool! Puts that classic Turtle-slide one to shame. We're going to get a Thea-sized pool this summer, but I'm wishing we had a parent-sized one too!
