Not Swimming Yet

Did I mention that the kids bought us a swimming pool for Mother's Day & my birthday?

Did I mention Burke has now purchased four tons of sand?

A new pool filter?
Pool tools?
Pool chemicals?
A pool vacuum?

Just Ryker building a sand castle with left over sand in the back of Porter's truck...

Jackson, Isis, Kehlani, Braxton & Mia came over Sunday to help lay out the sand and start building the dang thing.

Kehlani had her own shovel and was THE biggest helper EVER.

Ryker kept the dogs in the backyard because gates on both sides were open.

Cooper is really the biggest helper.

The pool is up.

It was filled with water by Tuesday morning.

No one has gone swimming yet, though.

We can't seem to get the chemical levels correct.

Burke is THRILLED with the situation.

(That is sarcasm)

He has bought so many chemicals.

He has googled so many tips and tricks.

This has taken hours and hours and hours.

Kids just want to swim.

Mama just wants it to be done.

Burke just wants to blow the thing up, I'm pretty sure.

Fingers crossed we'll all be swimming soon.
