Pool… gone.

Jump to Comments

We sold our pool through craigslist on May 16 to a nice couple from the Eastern Shore.  They did most of the work.  I felt bad, but I had to watch the kids since Megan was at the beach for the weekend.  

I have no regret getting rid of it.  Sure, it was fun, but it was 30′ and took up almost my whole back yard.  We’re thinking about planing a garden this year instead of grass.

I fought off the kids running through the puddles from the pumped off water from the pool as long as I could.  The begging won out this time.  Plus it kept them busy for about a hour and I got some good pictures.

This took the good part of 2 whole days.  The last about 1.5 - 2 inches of water we dumped into the yard.  Needless to say, there was a flood in the back yard.

Lots of jumping and splashing.

This is one of those pictures that will embarrass Elliot when he’s a teenager.  We have lots of those kind of photos.
