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.

Big splash, funny face.  

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

Wonder if the Easter Bunny can pay our dental bills?

Elliot’s famous “CHEESE!” with smurf-blue teeth.

Gracie was serious about her Chocolate bunny.

We visited Nannie’s and Poppies. Chole (and Uncle George & Aunt Shelly) was there!

The kids had a great time finding easter eggs at Nannie’s and Poppies.

And of course, a trip to Nannie and Poppie’s wouldn’t be complete without bouncing on the trampoline.
