Pool Fun

We feel like we're on vacation. Wanna know why? Our neighborhood POOL!!! It almost feels guilty. Pretty much every day we go down after lunch and stay until 5 or so. We've figured out how to wear swim shirts or slather on the sunscreen so we won't get sunburned. So far it's worked.

When we first moved in to the neighborhood, the pool looked pitiful. It's about 45 years old and it was showing it's age! We chipped in to help paint the fence, pressure wash the concrete, pull weeds and basically do major cleaning, and it turned out quite nice!

The best part is that most of the time we're the only ones in the pool. I guess most people in this neighborhood just aren't interested in swimming! I'm not going to complain. A friend said she joined her community pool and there was hardly any room to move once you got in. I feel so blessed for the kids to be able to enjoy their summer this way. Every once in awhile, Randy will comment that he feels like we're at a hotel pool on vacation.

One of the best parts is sharing the pool with our friends and family. Come join us if you can!

Tracey- I wish our neighborhood pool was not so crowded! I would love to have a pool all to ourselves like you do. (Without the hassle of maintaining it.)

But you have also encouraged me to get to our neighborhood pool. It's time!
