We're Building a Pool!

Last summer, Granna and Granstan moved and we all missed having their pool to swim in so much.  We started talking then about possibly building our own pool and I'm excited to report that our dreams are finally coming true!  Our first meeting with the pool company was right after Christmas and we really liked the contractor we met with.  He was honest and full of great tips and ideas that we hadn't even thought of.  We settled on a design and got put on the list to start digging.  And then it started raining.  And raining.  And dig day kept getting pushed further and further back.  But today we finally got a break in the rain!  They showed up bright and early and got started!  
The kids were mesmerized and sat at the window watching and videoing the whole thing.  It's not every day that a big excavator digs a huge hole in your backyard.
They got the forms all set and by the end of the afternoon, the pool had completely taken shape.
We live in a very rocky area so we were worried about hitting rock (which can add a lot of expense) but luckily they made it all the way to 8 feet without hitting any rock.
We can't wait to watch all of the changes over the next few weeks!  These kids will be swimming before they know it!
