Oh Summer how do I love thee

Summer in Florida is hot. Really really HOT. Like take off your clothes, eat ice cream and stand in front of a fan and you are still hot, hot. You get my point. So, Babe and I decided that getting a pool would be a good investment for us. It is an 18 foot above ground. Babe dug it into the ground about 2 1/2 feet.

This is what we started with.

We decided that we wanted to put the pool 2 feet in the ground. We thought it would look nicer. Not to mention I don't want my neighbors staring at me, in my "backyard" bathing suit, as I climb the ladder to get in. If ya know what I mean.

This is what the hole looked like after Babe removed all the dirt.

This is the half way mark. I don't have any pictures past this point. I'm a slacker I know.

This is Stinky jumping into the pool after it is all done. Do you see the problem with this picture? Look at the right side of the picture, behind the ladder. Do you see it? It's a trampoline. Babe thought it would be oh so fun to put the trampoline next to the pool so the kids can jump into the pool from it. Like we haven't seen enough on America's Funniest Home Videos to know what the possibilities are. I foresee an increase in the amount of strawberry daquiris and pina coladas I will be consuming while sitting next to the pool, with my phone in my hand and the numbers 911 punched in waiting to hit send, with my ninja like reflexes. Maybe the trampoline gremlins will dismantle it and throw it away in the middle of the night while everyone is sleeping.

All in all I have to say that I am extremely happy with our purchase. It has been a blast for not only the kids, but us adults to. But don't take my word for it.

Love and Be Loved
