Jump In - The water's c-c-cold!

Jacob and Ben swam in the pool today. The air temp was 80+ degrees but the pool water was only 68. The water certainly looked inviting but I am not going in until it is at least 75 degrees. Spoiled, yes.

If you look closely at some of the pictures the boys are shivering and trying to smile but the water was frigid! This may be a record for the earliest "first swim" of the season.


Getting ready to jump in


Cold!


I am having fun!


All the way in!


Almost warm enough - NOT!

My crazy, mad scientist, obsessed with the pool water husband would want folks to notice how crystal clear the water is.

i am so jealous that you have an inground pool. i have been told by neighbors that we have so many rocks over here that it would cost a fortune...

Ahhhh, Mary - the battle of the pools begins:

The age old saga of bleach vs. regular pool chemicals - just another chapter in the Bill Shaughnessy vs. George Snow trash talking drama! (Go bleach!)
