spontaneous

Much to the kiddos delight (and mine, because I was tired of those two, dinky, hard pools we have), we bought an inflatable! Sure enough, just as we surmised, the pool was much smaller than the picture on the box. Those deceptive pool people...

The children returned from their weekend with their father and we immediately told them to get into their swimsuits (they were more than happy to)! Pretty soon, they were outside, shrieking with delight over the whale pool that spouts water.

Meanwhile, I was in the kitchen (watching them from the window) as I prepared some fun finger foods for a late-night snack. Jim set up one of our TVs outside and we all ended up watching a movie outside on the deck. Fun, fun!!

P.S. We forgot to put the pool away and an animal chewed a hole in it during the night. The slide still works, though. Oh well....back to the hard plastic pools until we buy another inflatable!
