100 degrees down to 48...

Kirk's birthday was at the end of June and he's been hording his birthday money away scouting out just the right thing to get... He gets a little money from his Dad and Jerri and a little money from my Mom and Bob. He bought some new sandals with a little bit, but he's been watching swimming pools like a hawk on craigslist.... Well, some guy had a 15' pool listed for $150 and Kirk had him talked down to $100 but kept trying to get it even lower. The guy held out for the weekend but ended up caving first thing Monday morning!!!

So, Kirk came home with a nice pool for our backyard. Yes, one big enough for ALL of us! :o) Yesterday it was close to, if not over 100 degrees outside. After filling the pool up in the morning, Kirk and Rhonda were crazy enough to get in last night! It was close to a cool 48 degrees!!! Gotta love those two. Good thing he has a sister to humor him! Although, I did cave this afternoon and got in with him. But by then it was probably up to a cozy 55 degrees. :o) ha ha ha... So, we are super excited to have a big pool. Thanks for the awesome birthday present!!

This picture is kind of blurry, (I'm obviously not the greatest photographer,) but I still thought it was a cute one of the two of them, so I posted it anyway!
