The Trough

When I was a child summer wouldn't have been summer without our "swimming pool"/Cow trough. I am pretty sure we spent our entire summers in the pool, with about ten other neighbor kids.  My Aunt  Marianne was kind enough to hand their family swimming pool down to us. I am so glad our kids will have the same great memories.

We have only used it a couple of times this summer, because of this little guy- he is fearless when it comes to water or anything for that matter. So we made the most of it when we filled it up.Our kids were swimming the whole entire day! I jumped in with Annabelle and realized how BIG I am. This pool used to seem so big and deep but I may have outgrown it a tad. I took advantage of my bigness and produced some great waves  and whirlpools for Annabelle to ride in. Be glad Beetle wasn't home at this time to take a pic.

Beetle wanted to see if Ruben could swim....he can!

I went in the house to grab some towels and found Annabelle having tub time with Ruben...kind of SICK- I know, but the expression on her face was pretty cute. I am pretty sure the pool gave her the idea, at least she stayed in her swimming suit :)
