New pool

The weather has been SO hot already this summer.  Today I reached a breaking point.  I loaded up the kids into the suburban and headed for Menards.  The boys love going to any of the big box hardware stores.  They actually know the difference too, which is hilarious to me.  When we drive by one, Nolan is usually quick to point out which one we are passing.  We have also taught him what Ace Hardware is as well, since it’s important for him to know Uncle Mark’s store 🙂

Anyway, I digress.  We picked up a cart and headed for the garden section.  The boys were given the choice between a purple or blue pool.  They chose purple.  We loaded it into the truck and headed right home.  They were uber excited to fill it and play.  Water temperature doesn’t phase them in the least.  Their lips could be blue and their skin have goosebumps and they’ll continue to play.  As for me, dipping my feet is enough!  I have a feeling the pool is going to be an important part of our outdoor play this summer.
