We got the big pool (10feet across, 3feet deep) set up and have been loving it!! Last week it was pretty rainy, so we just left the solar cover on it and didn't get to swim....well yesterday Brian took the cover back to see how the temp was and what the water was looking like...lets just say close to pea soup!! We had not put any chemicals in it yet and also didn't get new filters until this week...It was totally gross but over night it was all cleared up! Amazing what 10 oz of chlorine, a little algae killer and running the filter will do!! So the kids had to settle to play in the little kiddie pool yesterday...lucky mom got to get in the pea soup and stir stuff up so it would circulate through the filter!! The things we do for our kids! Also we found this "family" of ants right outside our back door. I was inside comforting Kelli who had just fallen down some stairs and Andrew came running in to say that he found a "cake of ants". Brian from a distance thought that it was dirt/an ant hill...but no, it was thousands of little ants!! Thank goodness they didn't get in the house! And again, thank goodness for chemicals!! =) This picture below just doesn't do it justice! But it gives an idea!
