Spring Fling In Our Own Backyard


With the warm spring weather blowing in we couldn't wait to enjoy our new home and all it's wonderful outside amenities that have come with it. It might be small and lacking in toys and plant-life, but it feels like "acres" compared to the 3x5 patio we endured for years! After blowing up a small pool for the kids, and lathering on the sunscreen Larry and I put up our feet in the shade, ate pizza and relished in the relaxing scene. THIS is why we bought a house!

Can you guess if the water is warm or cold?

I don't think Emma ever stopped lay around the water and kicking.

She is just a ball of energy.


Ben is seriously in need of a tan.

I know he liked the water but he never wanted to sit in it.

I think he's waiting for some warmer water!

I'd say Syd needs a tan, but there's NO hope for that.

She'll just get more freckles.


Doesn't it look like they are in the middle of some fancy football moves?

"You go left and all pass it to you!"

I couldn't help myself. I had to pull the slide over for some extra fun!

We have a house but no yard. Totally depressing!

The kids look like they are having so much! I think a little backyard pool is way better than our old pool at the condo. You can't beat privacy!

Ah, yes... these pictures bring back some good memories for me. Beware of the circle shaped patch of dead grass. It seems to always accompany the round, inflatable pool.
