Kentucky Pool Party

Unfortunately we don't have access to a neighborhood pool or swim club.  So, our swimming sesssions involve invitations by friends to the pool they have or have access to OR a good ol' Kentucky Pool Party.  The former is what we usually end up doing and for the little ones it works.  Sometimes there are dragon flies swarming around, crickets trying to jump in or racoons who party in our pool at night.  I guess it all comes with the territory.  Here's what we did to prepare for our first dip of the season:

Scrub out the pool since it was left on the back porch all year long!

Watch the pool blow up with speed since it is an Aero Bed Pool!
It's almost ready.
Fill it up as your pants fall down because they are wet too.
Ask Trevor to come out, but he's too tired from Cub Camp and nursing a sunburn.
Party in the pool (only 6 inches deep)!

We cordially invite you to come spend all of August in our pool. You will receive complimentary sorbet popcicles (yum!), and freshly laundered towels delivered to you poolside (not to mention the lavish accomodations overlooking the wonderful city of Madrid). So come bask under the hot Spanish sun and cool down with us. Come on, it'll be fun.
Okay, I wasn't trying to make you're pool feel inferior -I mean ours doesn't have a slide or anything, we just would love for you to come visit. The kids are excited to see your kids next month. Wooooeee!

That's hilarious! We just bought the same pool! We stuck ours on our covered porch which will probably ruin the wood but it does feel very Kentucky. You are welcome in ours any day of the week!

Do you need Papa Ross to come with his pool net to fish out the bugs?

Ohhh whilst you are setting up your pool we are turning up the heat... on our air conditioner! The kids look like they are enjoying themselves ♥
