My chaotic life raising six kids
That is what our backyard looks like after the first day of work on our pool. They took everything out of the backyard except for the avocado tree and a/c unit.
We had to move some of the stuff to the driveway to store till after the pool is complete. We need to sell the spa, anyone want one?
Pool construction starts in the morning! Here’s the “before” pics:
Today the kids swung on the swings and went down the slide for the last time because we are putting in a pool! Dan gave the boys saws and wrenches and they had an absolute blast taking it apart. Tomorrow demo starts on our pool. We are so excited! It should be done sometime in July.
On a related note, Falyn can now swing all by herself.
Kayli put together this video of Falyn swinging.
I spent the weekend camping with Kayli’s Girl Scout troop. We all had so much fun!
The first night there was a camp-fire sing-a-long and we made smores.
On Saturday we participated in a camporee, where every troop had a booth with an activity. Our girls did a cat’s cradle booth. Everyone seemed to really like learning cat’s cradle and we saw girls playing it during the rest of the weekend.
Saturday afternoon the girls went swimming. The pool had a really fun water slide.
Saturday night was skit night. Our girls performed their own version of the invisible bench skit. They did a great job of it.
Walking to the camp-fire.
Waiting to watch all the skits.
Our camp site.
Sunday morning we had breakfast in the camp facility’s dining hall and then we had to break down camp. Then we went on a hike. We had heard there were cougars in the area and we saw paw prints while on our hike.
After that we went zip-lining and participated in a team building activity.
After that, it was time to go home. Everyone agreed that it was so much fun that they wanted to do it again next year.
