Summer, Day 7

I think that it really feels like summer for the kids now; we finally have water in our pool. Last year Richard decided that we needed to upgrade from the regular kiddie pools to a fairly good sized above ground pool. Not as nice as the pool I grew up with, but it's definitely better than nothing. Lastiojiioylo year it ended up with some holes in the bottom and by the end of the summer it was losing water at a slow but steady rate. I wanted to patch the holes before filling it this year and hopefully cut down on our water bill. There were a lot more holes than I realized. A lot more. Most of then were small and probably wouldn't have been that big of a deal but there were a lot of holes. A lot. It took me three days, a couple hours a day, to get it all done and Josh was not patient. It's all done now and we've got water in it. I still need to get the chemical levels just right, but otherwise we should have another fun summer.
