Our New Swimming Pool & Other Happenings

The girls on my mom's side have a fun get together we all call the "Sister Trip." This year we went to Spirit Lake in North Idaho and stayed at one of my relatives cabins (thanks Aunt Carolyn and Uncle Holland!!!). We had so much fun. We went shopping, played games, and made fun crafts. We can't wait until next year! Here we are at Lake Coeur d'Alene walking out on the boardwalk.
And here is our new swimming pool! My dad is putting in some new fields of orhard and in order to help with the irrigation, they built a frost pond. Its so more sprinklers can all be run at the same time and also helps with frost control in the Spring. It is huge-as you can see with my little brother on his dirt bike in the hole. We have talked my dad into making it the family pool with all kinds of amenities. There is a shallow end and soon to be dock. There have been talks of rope swings and zip lines. The plan is also to make it an ice skating rink in the winter.


Turning the water to begin filling the pond!

The posts with the beam is where the dock is going to be. We need to take some pictures of it completely full.
