Swimming Pool

In typical Brian and Hilary fashion, we decided after one of the hottest heat waves of the summer to invest in a decent-sized above ground pool.  We briefly considered a permanent kind that stays up all year, but my frugal side took over and we went with the kind that gets taken down each fall.  It hasn't been super hot since putting it up, but we're still getting plenty of use out of it.

Getting the site ready

We had to do the jumping shot!

It took ~12 hours to fill with the hose.  We haven't gotten the water bill yet.

He was the first to go in while it was filling.

Having fun!

The water looks green because of the rust in the hose water.  The small filter that came with the pool wasn't going to keep up, so we invested in a larger filter that has been fabulous!

Cousin A is queen of the pool and LOVES to swim! 

(Notice the clean water?!)
