The prerequisite for any hotel stay - the swimming pool! Better yet, a swimming pool they have all to themselves, the case here.
I seriously snapped 200 photos of the kids jumping in the pool. This one was my favorite.
It rained yesterday, but today it cleared up in the afternoon so that the kids could romp around in the pool.
Because the back patio slopes away from the house, we can't fill the pool up all the way to 3 feet depth. And the kids are so big now, it almost seems like a wading pool. But really, they don't care.
You know those Entex Easy set pools? We had one several (7) years ago, and then another one a couple (4) years ago, and last year, it was all about the slip-n-slide, so I thought we were past the Entex Pool Phase.
Apparently not. While I was away in London, the kids persuaded Scott to buy another pool. A 12 foot diameter, 3 foot deep model. I learned about this from my friend, Kellie, on Facebook.
And an old familiar friend was brought out from the depths of the basement - Sadie, the turtle floatie. She looks right at home on the pool's surface. I should dig up some pictures of Sadie 7 years ago. She still looks great.
The last day of July - a perfect summer day - not too hot, not humid at all. Those cotton ball clouds are back. And it's Friday!
I let the kids stay home today - they slept in, played games and did the list of chores I assigned them. Nothing too strenuous - just vacuuming, laundry and dishes. Brian learned, however, that procrastination isn't the best policy - he was invited to go to the pool, but he hadn't finished his chores. We were a little late to the pool, but he finished the vacuuming.
