We have been too busy swimming in our pool to post on our blog. Yes, that's right we got a swimming pool. It is 15' by 42" round. It is one of those cool blue pools with the blow up ring. It has been so much fun. You see, we've always wanted a pool and when we moved into our last house in 2000 we started a pool fund. We simply collected all of our spare change. There was just one major problem. I didn't know how to swim so I was too nervous to get one. But I have been taking lessons and am swimming laps at the gym. And Annie and Emerson are fish so we decided to get a pool. The coolest part.... Our pool fund covered the cost of the pool!!!! That's what 9 years of saving your change will get you! It helped that the pool was on clearance since it is the end of the season. But we still have 6-10 weeks of swimming in Central Texas.
It really makes these dog days of summer tolerable. Come on over and join us for a swim!!!
Grandpa Chuck and Daddy built a fence with a locking gate for safety.
