    Time to start planning a new backyard. 12 years was long enough, lots of good times. 20170822_200328.jpg 20170923_113002.jpg 20170923_184045.jpg

    Woohoo!
    After a while, I found having a pool to be work.
    Nice to be able to jump in whenever though.

    Lots of good memories in that pool though, I'm sure. My mother in law had a perfect diamond shape worn into her front lawn from all the neighbor kids playing baseball for years in her front yard. The story went that another neighbor lady said "Tell those kids to play down the street at the park or something, they've ruined your grass! The Mom-in-law replied "I'm raising kids now. I can raise grass later." Pretty awesome perspective, if you ask me.

    Absolutely.....we made lots of memories in that pool. Way too much fun.
    The movie "Dirty Dancing" was big, and the girls and I did the scene where Swayze lifts up the girl. The difference was that once I held 'em up a few seconds, they kept going and did a dive behind me from the lift. Over, and over, and over................:D:dex:
