I've loved having our pool. Without air conditioning in our house, the pool has been our saving grace during the high heat/humid days. Sometimes Brennan and I would get in the pool 4 times in one day!
I love that the weather is getting a bit cooler now, but the cooler weather means our pool is also cooling down. When it's cloudy and in the upper 70's outside, our pool doesn't get much above 74. The water has only been 70 degrees this past week! Logan jumps in after he goes running, but that's about all the action this pool has seen in the last 2 weeks. Brennan insisted on swimming with him after his run last night. After about 5 minutes, he was shivering and his lips turned blue. These are pictures of the last time we really "used" the pool. Alex, Parker, and Megan had a great time - they got a good whirlpool going by walking in circles around the edge.
Logan still seems to think he wants to get rid of the pool. I disagree. It doesn't really take that much to run and the cost of the pump/water isn't too high. For 3-4 weeks we used the pool multiple times a day, it's been totally worth it!! I hope to have it around next summer. So far though, Logan has done pretty much all of the pool maintenance and chemical balancing, and now he wants me to learn how to winterize it if I really want to keep it. So, we'll see how that goes!
It's still swimming weather here. It's been over 100 every day this week. Saturday we went swimming and it was nice to not even need a towel to dry off with.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like fun with all the Hays there.
I can't imagine not having a pool! I am really going to miss the pool days that we have been enjoying all summer. Especially when you don't have air conditioning, it makes a pool a necessity.
