It's not the size, it's what you do with it.I'm talking about our pool.
It's not huge but fill it with a few kids (and two moms taking turns barking, "No jumping!") and you've got yourself a party.
My friend Gladys and her kids, Elena, Adam and Alexis came over for the afternoon. Beautiful day out and the water was at a comfortable 85 F. After some chow (and chasing each other around the house), Alex led the way (first requesting, "Potty... poopie... pool.") and Dana yelled, "Hey, everybody, let's go in the pool!"
I was reminded (fondly) of those National Geographic specials on wild African wildebeest as they stampeded off an embankment and crashed into a river. They had a great time. I can't imagine summer without a pool now.
I picked up my brother Carl at the train station in the morning. He's here to help me with the kids while Chris is away on a business trip. Alex remembered him with no problem. And was especially happy to watch over Carl's shoulder as he played Forza Motorsport on the XBOX360... specifically the track in Germany with lots of TREES along it. But, of course! Alex doesn't like it when Dana or I play... we keep skidding off the track.
