~They Can't Wait!~

My husband set up the pool this morning before he went to work. Then I started filling it up. Waiting for something like a pool to fill up can feel like an eternity-especially to children. My kids are patiently waiting for this big pool to fill-they are ready to go swimming! Their keeping themselves busy to pass the time but I know this is driving them crazy inside. Lol. I remember being a kid waiting for our kiddie pool to fill-man that felt like forever at the time! Their patience is actually surprising me to be honest... I know their really happy to have a pool since they never have before other than small kiddie pools. So glad we got such a good deal so they can enjoy this!

@miniam Thank you! We got it for really cheap, only reason we could get it. A customer of my husband's sold it to us for $75, with the pool and the vacuum for it. We were Blessed.

Oh that first jump in is gonna be a good one! When I was growing up, I wanted a pool like this - but I always had those kiddie pools too . . . sometimes I got so desperate I even used a bucket !

@LovingMyBabies Even using the hose straight was fine with us (but we can't do that anymore here as we are in a drought). Enjoy the pool . . . you're going in too, right?!

@BelleStarr Yeah it's 16x48 so it is pretty big. =) I wish it would rain so it would fill up faster. Lol

Would like to have one here. But we don't have an open space for a pool like that. Sigh.
