Ok, you know summer is finally here when I go out and buy the $300 pool! It had just inches of water in it and out of the house come all the kids in their suits, ready to make a splash! Tanner even had his goggles on!!! I'm pretty sure it will be a few hours before those are needed!
Anyway, it's always the best money I spend all year. We our a fish family. All the kids love the water and will be in the pool from the second they finish breakfast to the time I drag them out for bed. Heaven knows, we will also end up with every other kid in the neighborhood in our backyard but who cares! The more, the merrier!!!
Our oldest four grew up with a "real" pool in the backyard when we lived in Arizona. Thomas and Vanessa were 1 and 2 when we moved back to Oregon, but even they were already accustomed to swimming. It was one of the hardest adjustments moving back here 5 years ago and not having a pool . Hey, I just remembered the house we lived in here, before we moved to Arizona had a pool too. Man, that was the life.
Our youngest 3 are still adjusting to that very large bathtub in the backyard and are not sure if it's a good thing yet......I'm sure they will become little guppies soon enough, it's the inevitable!
