Day 357: Wanda's Back

The pool isn't as scary as I thought it would be, but it still needs a good cleaning. Thankfully, Wanda is on the job!

Day 282: First Day of Spring

I wanted a lovely spring-ish picture for today, but it's pretty drab out.  So I took a panoramic of the backyard and then added some color to it.

Day 39: Pool Toys

The pool accessories I ordered came in today!  There is a boat for the Strickens, floating lights, an air mattress, and a floating beer cooler... uh, I mean, beverage cooler (complete with cup holders)--according to the package, it can hold a case plus ice!  Can't wait to try all this stuff out.

Day 32: A Fish Called Wanda

Okay, so she's a whale, not a fish... but whatever.  Wanda is awesome, she swims along the bottom of the pool and vacuums it... all on her own.  Which means that Ash and I don't have to do the vacuuming.  I love Wanda.

Day 29: Just the Girls

Amy, Sarah, Ashley, and I had a wonderful girls' day.  We swam in the pool, drank wine, grilled salmon and asparagus, hottubbed for a while, and then jumped back in the pool.  It was a fabulous day!  I absolutely loved it.

Day 26: Jump In

It was another hot day in Michigan.  In fact, we had a heat advisory.  So, it was nice to hop in the pool--especially since the water temp is up to 86 degrees!  Here I caught Ash as she was hitting the water.  [I tweaked this photo in Adobe Lightroom using the preset called Kelsey Smith- Swim Time.]

Day 25: High of 95

Madison and Ben came up to visit.  It was in the 90s today, so we spent most of the afternoon in the pool.  It was refreshing to say the least.  We ended the evening with beer and burgers.

Day 23: Classic Swimsuit Baby

Today, Sarah and Lily came over to swim.  Lily is so cute in her classic swimsuit with the cute ruffles.  Look how festive she is in her red, white, and blue suit.  So patriotic.

Day 11: Pool Party

Today was the second annual pool warming party.  I had class until 5:30, so I was fashionably late.  Of course, by six, it wasn't quite warm enough for me to want to get in, but I did dangle my feet.
