"Life is simple, just add water"

And so we are.  Every year we haul in the sand, pull weeds, smooth out the area and set up the pool.

Grateful for grown children that can do the work.
Grateful for a system that is in place.
However, we always have questions about the pool.  Every year, there is something else we can't remember. This year it was do the poles go under or over the plastic strap around the middle of the pool.  The consensus was under the strap. We even enlisted Robin to help out. Within hours we had it set up and filling. It had to be the hottest day of the year so far which is always the day we set up the pool.  Next step is the solar heater.  Once our system is set up, the weather will cool off and we won't use it for a month.
