Pool + water = freedom



Ah, yes; to be a kid again. This summer we bought a large 18 by 3 foot pool, and even if the weather hadn't been as brutal this year as it has been, my four younger brothers still would have been obsessed with swimming. Every day the temperature hits anything higher than 75 degrees, my brothers are out in pool; playing, yelling, and just being kids.

If you could ask my brothers what they have enjoyed most about freedom this summer, they would without hesitation respond "swimming". Oh, to give thanks for the simple things in life! We truly are blessed to live, to breathe... and to swim.

What a blast! I'm not a big fan of swimming, but those pictures make me want to go jump in a pool. :-)

I swim a half mile every night. I can definitely identify with your brothers.

Did you have to help set up the pool? My friend's family has one identical to it and it was a real trial to get filled.

Your little brothers look very sweet, Jen! =) I'm sure they do enjoy swimming... I always wanted a pool when I was younger.

Yikes, I've been dead for quite a while... :) It's a super hot day right now, so swimming sounds quite attractive. :)
