This pool lasted for maybe all of 3 or 4 weeks. Since we were pool neophytes and had no idea on how to chemically treat water to make sure it stays fresh (plus no pump in this big kiddie pool).So next year, pool iteration number two. Well... not much maintenance required in this one. Use as needed.
Suffering terrible vacation withdrawals from being in Grand Cayman, behold pool number 3! Took me about a couple of hours to put together. This baby comes with a nice pump that has to run about five hours every day to circulate the 4,000 gallons of water in there. Which also means that you can't screw up the water chemistry. Refilling this will not be cheap. In the last couple of weeks we've also had to learn how to test and treat the water. So far so good.

The stare-back
A month behind... he's 11 months now - those to come shortly
Seriously.. this kid is going to swim before he walks
Caleb and David are moving away for a year - this was their last playdate with our kids
Hey quit inching closer to my daughter! :-)
Armaan loves to feed himself, something Priya never did

Hey...can Triniti come swimming? hehe Just Kidding...the pool looks great!
the pool sure does look great! ... is that why you skipped out on the grad party yesterday? our first opportunity to see Armaan, and you skip out on the party to swim in your new pool!
it's about time you uploaded some new stuff...thought maybe you went back to cayman!
i´m glad you think my blog is interesting lol. I had uploaded all my pics to the computer to put some on my blog, had the post all ready to go, then it wouldn´t post. And I had just deleted my pics off the computer. UGH! frustrating. But hopefully this week I will have some more time. :)
Priya and Armaan are too cute and adorable. Wish you guys lived closer.The kiddos will really have a lot of fun in the great pool you just installed.Be safe!

Wow the pool is too cool!!! I bet Priya is loving it!!! We laughed so hard on the video's of Armaan, I busted a gut muscle! Miss you all and see you soon!
Give the kiddies a kiss for us!!
Love you,
GrandmaJ and GrandpaD
As a kid, I LOVED to swim and still do. We had a pool in our first house but once we moved to Lansing we just couldn't get one in our yard so we had all types of kiddie pools, etc. Now that I have my own house and have moved out of town, I have my own pool and I love it. Pools aren't as much work as they use to be. We maybe have to attend to it once a week. Otherwise it pretty much takes care of itself. We check the water daily with a stick and have an automatic vacuum going all the time. It's always clean and clear and ready for swimming. It looks like you are all set with your new pool now. I bet the kids are in 7th Heaven! If you guys ever want to upgrade again and look for a permanent structure I would highly recommend the St. John Pool Center on Route 41 in St. John, IN. They are the nicest people and do an awesome job for a great price.
I dont understand why you needed to buy an air compressor for that first pool??? jk!
Hey that pool looks like fun - for mom and dad too!
And -yay!- I think I recognize Priya's skirt in that horsie pic! I still want to get a pic of her and Dominique together in them someday... :)
