Sweet Summer Pool Days

I am VERY glad for that thing that now sits in our orchard and takes up a lot of space, time, and energy.  It's called the pool and it has been a life saver this summer!  It's our morning incentive to get our chores done, a time to bask in the sun, wishing our troubles away.... and it's actually done a lot of that while we're there!
All of the work that the kids and I have put into that pool to keep it clean and keeping the ph where it should be to have sparkling water has been worth it.  Here are some pictures that I think will prove it!

Me and my littles!

Bereket swimming on his own by Mom.

Such a big little guy!

This pict cracks me up because this is so HIM!  He has
to keep his mouth closed so he doesn't get water in it!

bottoms up!  It's a busy pool and this is only one half!

two little people looking over the edge!

Get ready, Katreese!
