Pool Time!

Holly and Jared got a new pool, and we have enjoyed playing there throughout the summer.  It's the perfect depth for the kids to play in without having to worry about them getting hurt.  Holly is also always a great host!  Here is Jake, Kayci, Karlee, Andy, and Abby striking a pose.

The water was cold, but that didn't stop them from having a blast.

Jake loved climbing up and down the ladder.

Kayci is a little water baby.  She dives down and stays down forever. 

Karlee spends more time with her head underwater than above. 

All the kids loved floating on this water bed.  It, however, became the source of a great deal of trauma when the girls tried to push it out of the pool.  Abby, Karlee, and Andy tried to push it out but when they gave one final big push, the side of the pool collapsed and Andy and Karlee fell out on their heads onto the gravel.  It was hilarious.  However, Andy didn't react too well.  She cut up her leg pretty good and filled her hair full of gravel.  Karlee's hair and ears were full of gravel.  We just turned on the hose and did the best we could to get it out.  I'm only sad I didn't get a picture!
