The Pool

I mentioned a while ago that Karson really needed a new pool.

 I wanted to get him a really big one.

I have full intentions of laying on a raft in it all summer long.

But, that pool!

Oh, that pool!

It was really warm a few days ago, so I got it out, and went to blow it up.

Obstacle #1: Couldn't find the air pump.

I searched and searched my parents house, and finally gave up.

I grabbed my Mom's blow dryer on a whim.

And to my surprise, it worked!

Obstacle #2: Warm Water

My parent's have well water outside.

Which is cold!

Really, really cold!

Called my Mom to find out how to hook the hose up inside.

Obstacle #3: Find the adapter.

It was exactly where she thought it was.

Obstacle #4: Unhook the hose from the garage.

Called my dad, to find out how to unhook it.

Took me a while, but I figured it out.

Obstacle #5: Get the hose inside.

Climbed up onto the counter, and figured out how to get the screen off the window.

at this point, K was done being good

 

Obstacle #5: Figure out how to unscrew the 'thing' on the faucet, so the adapter would fit.

Found a wrench.

at this point K was melting down

Mommy was getting frustrated

Obstacle #6: The stinkin adapter didn't fit the faucet!

Now you would think at this point, that I would just give up.

Nope.  

I went into the bathroom, to see if it would fit that sink.

Nope.

while doing this, K bent the screen that I left on the floor

still melting down

The afternoon continues with me trying the stinkin adapter on EVERY faucet in the house.

I lost.

The adapter won.

Karson swam in a cold pool.

A very, very cold pool

But of course, he didn't care too much.

 See the tummy getting sucked in?

It was cold!

He lasted for a few minutes.

 

Decided he was done, and climbed out

And started playing in the dirt...

  And Mommy made herself a cup of coffee.

Called Daddy, and told him to get an adapter that fit the stinkin' faucet!
