Kiddie pool

All the neighborhood kids love the pool we set up in the front yard. They love to run and jump in it, and they go all the way across the street to get a running start. We've tried to explain the physics and how they reach max velocity with about a 3 foot head start, but it's more fun to run screaming from the other end of the cul-de-sac. Pros: makes them more tired at the end of the day. Cons: high risk of lacerations due to tripping at full speed going over the curbs.

Mini-Block Party

It was hot as blue blazes this Sunday. Yep, that means it's time to get out the pool again! Popsicles, head first down the slide, belly flops, and lots of grass in the pool. Once again, the Enstone Court gang rocks!

Jane's Visit

Jane came to visit shortly after Lily was born. You have no idea how much we needed the help! One nice day we got to go out on the back deck and relax some, and we also got to get in the pool!

More Pool Time

He loves the pool. Splashing = fun!

Pool Time!

That pool gets bigger when you're the one having to blow it up! I think this is a good excuse to buy an air compressor!

Jack had a blast, as did his parents. We felt like we had a day at the beach: sunscreen, lots of paraphernalia, lots of preparation for a short time in the water, and that exhausted/sunbaked/great feeling you get when you've been out in the sun. For some reason, he loves to squirt himself with the water bottle. We had a heck of a time getting him to keep the hat on. We already have big plans for the future with this pool...

Labor Day

We all went to Rock Hill for Labor Day and for Will's birthday. Jack had fun swimming at the pool, but he wasn't so fond of going underwater. Later, Kyle and Richard came over, and the cousins had a big time in Richard's land yacht, "Uncle Sam"! Who's that fat guy with the dirty face helping Jack float?
