New Patio!

We've been wanting to get a patio in the backyard ever since we moved in. It's extremely hard to go outside and play with the kids when there is nowhere to sit, and all their toys are in the garage. We always ended up playing out front, which is really nothing but a headache, trying to keep the kids out of the street, etc. Last week the patio was put in, and we LOVE it!!! We have a nice table that seats six and we bought a firepit. Only thing we'd like to get is an umbrella for the table, hopefully there will be a nice sale at the end of the season!

Last Sunday we went to Sports*Com. Our church rented out the outdoor pool from 5-7. I've been wanting to take the kids there for awhile, but would never attempt it by myself during the day and on the weekends we've just been so busy, and I'm sure it's probably always packed. It was nice to have just the people from church there, making the crowd smaller. The outdoor pool is tons of fun. The kids area is great, they have a little water slide, and a big bucket that pours water out, and sprinkler spouts, etc. The kids had a blast. I didn't get any pictures of them in the pool, because Jeff and I each had a hand on a kid the entire time. Jade, ironically, has less fear of the water than Brooke. Jade dunked her head in a few times and smiled, while Brooke would pretend she was choking when she got splashed with the water.
