I used to make fun of people like us

It's true, I confess, I used to make fun of these tacky, blue, white and grey above ground pools...but not anymore, we joined the ranks and put one up in the back yard.  And let me just say, I get it!  Above ground pools are just an attempt for Georgia mamas to stay cool, keep their children entertained and not go stir crazy trying to save gas money by staying home all summer!!  So now we are able to enjoy our own little redneck riviera!

 Once the pool was filled, Walker was terrified to get in and screamed for dear life, but after about 2 weeks, he realized it wasn't so bad and now he screams when it's time to get out.

 Marlee likes the edge of the pool best.  She has been in a few times but mostly likes to be held...not surprised at all!

 We are working on swimming, I've never taught a child to swim before, so we are just winging it. Maybe by the end of the summer, he will have it down!
