pool time

i feel like it has just started being "hot" this summer. we went to our local retail stores looking for a pool. much to my surprise they are already phasing summer stuff out. *retail is ridiculous in my opinion, when it comes to jumping to the next season* so we went to 3 different stores and finally found a pool that is big enough to actually play in. it was the second to last one. score, we found one! the kids are LOVING it!! they played in it probably 4 hrs yesterday. i had no idea it would keep them occupied that long. =) they were doing cannon balls, swimming under water, splashing... all the fun things that come along with having a decent sized pool! one of the best splurges we've done this summer, by far, in my opinion!! why did i wait so long?? =)
