~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?!

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

I remember when we got our pool (I was 11), and it did seem to take forever for it to actually be usable. We also constructed it ourselves though, so it took a few weeks to level the ground and then set up the walls.

We bought two cheapy pools this summer. The dog destroyed both of them. I'd hoped they would at least last the summer but...nope! My kids would LOVE a pool like that! Though they all still need swimming lessons, so perhaps it's a good thing that we don't have one... How'd the swimming go? Spot any alligators?
