Swimming Pool..... at last

Well it has been a while since my last post, and a very busy time on the home front. We finally decided to throw caution to the wind and put in an in-ground swimming pool. Seemed simple enough, and it has been, but what a lot of things to choose and decide on. But I'm glad we did it (and so are the kids). To cap it off we placed a large volcanic rock right beside the pool for the kids to jump off (but I didn't think they would dive off it too). Once the coping stones went on the edge of the pool we could stop constantly re-filling the pool from all the water that was bombed out!

Our front lawn went from this......

.... to this.

And one of the 'bombing rock'. It doesn't look high, but once you are up there it is pretty daunting.
