Pool

In May Jon's boss gave us his above ground pool. Needless to say it has been QUITE the project. First we had to rent a lawn cutter to cut up the lawn. We had to move that to the dump and into other places in the yard. Then because our back yard slopes A LOT we had to level it. That took Jon and his dad forever like weeks and there weren't getting any where. So one Friday Jon asked a friend of his to come over with his bobcat and level the dirt. The boys (Jon included) loved having the bobcat come. Here are the pictures.





This is what Jon did most of the time while Clay worked the bobcat. This is also Mic, Clay's dad.



Cason and I also did some swinging while they were working.

I just love his little skinny legs.

Weston couldn't have been more happy when he got to ride in the bobcat!





Don't ask about that face lol!

Cason is taking things way too serious...


Let us out of here.I couldn't resist this picture!

After leveling it then Jon had to bring in and put like two truck loads of sand. Then the real work began. Jon's dad helped him to put the pool all up then for a week we filled the pool then emptied it and then filled it bacuse we couldn't get the liner just right. Jon also had to build a fence around it to keep the kids out while we aren't out there with them.


Here is the pool and the fence

The finished product. Almost Jon still has to put the rails on the top but done for the most part. We have really been enjoying our pool. It was a lot of work but now we are enjoying all of Jon's and his dad's HARD labor.

How fun is that? That will be so great in this heat to just go out to your backyard and swim. I know what you mean forever to do things. It took us about 5 weeks from start to finish to put our lawn in and I'm just so happy it's FINALLY done!
