Mother's Day.

This year on Mother's day the temperature reached almost 100 degrees!! And guess what the only thing my Mom wanted was on this day? To open the pool!! So that is what we did.

After the cover is taken off we have to clean off all the water bags that surround the pool to hold the cover down in the winter. These blue bags get pretty yucky throughout the winter let me tell you. But Elena loved helping us out!



Then she also helped fill the pool up. She couldn't understand why we weren't letting her get in and swim! It was (and still is!) soooo cold!


There is this little family of squirrels that always came down to drink water off the top of the cover. They were a little distraught that they couldn't reach the water anymore. Especially this little guy... Elena really, really wanted him to drink the water out of her little cup! :)

We are all so excited for the pool to warm up so we can start swimming! It is going to be a fun summer.
