With First grade behind us what better way to celebrate than with a POOL PARTY.

The start of what we didnt realize would be a 2 week process to get clean....

 Uncovered, green and full of algea and leaves

 We swept, backwashed, chlorinated, salted, repeat, repeat, repeat for TWO WEEKS

(can you tell we are new pool owners?!)

BUT boy was it worth it. Pool was sparkling. Girls had a year end swim party. We had about 13 kids and 6 adults  They invited all the girls in their class, with the exception of one boy(Sadie insisted on Sammy) Cousins (who didnt make it) but had a good turn out otherwise. There were storms all around us but that didnt stop these kids. We swam and had snacks and drinks for all. They got to swim for about 2 hours before the rain came.

This is what being a kid is all about. They have swam everyday since they got out of school! Hours of entertainment.
