Our Pool

We got our pool!!! We all loaded up and went to Wal-Mart after we had been driving around the town for a while...so needless to say, the kids were a little restless from being in the van for a while. We probably spent only 15 minutes in the store, and I grabbed the first pool I came across...and luckily, it was a nice sized pool and cheap!
When we got it home, Matt realized that his fittings to the air compressor are buried somewhere in a box in our storage unit, so he asked our neighbor Matt if he had something we could use. He let us borrow his compressor that you plug into the cigarette lighter in your car. So, we all sat outside anxiously awaiting the inflation of the pool...and we waited, and waited, and waited!!!! After about an hour, it was finally ready...however, the air compressor burnt up (guess we will be buying Matt a new one!) It was nearly 7 o'clock before water was in the pool, but we went ahead and let the kids get in. They were in again yesterday evening and having a blast!
