The Golden Pool

We went to the Farmer's Market again this morning to get more raspberries.
They were almost sold out when we got there only an hour after it opened ... and the price was $2 more than last week.
I guess they're a hot commodity around here.
They are good!
We also decided to go get a little pool for the girls to play in on our back deck .... nothing big, but just enough to have some "cool" fun.
They definitely enjoyed it.
Brielle of course was drenched within 10 seconds of being in the pool. Linzi got wet but kept getting out and drying off ... and Tessa didn't ever get super wet, just kind of stood in the pool and laughed; she also thinks it is fun to climb up the outside of the upper deck and stand there ... I think it's a little dangerous ... but that's Tessa for you. Kate walked around the outside of the pool until Brielle pulled her in and she got wet (actually ... Brielle kind of accidentally dunked her) and had to get changed. She had a very concerned look on her face when she got out of the pool ... it was cute!
I guess our really late arrival of summer meant that we would have a hot one! I think it's 90 today .... too hot for here.
But perfect for the "golden" pool! (these silly girls thought it was so exciting that we were getting them a pool .... as if it was a treasure or something. Apparently we don't get out much)

we have the smaller version of that little pool also, but then we have 50% less children so its probably the same....anyway, my kids love that pool also, its amazing how much water lands outside the pool. hehe

That has probably been the best 15 dollers we spent this summer so far, we got it a week before the baby came and the boys love it, and spend most of the day out there.

I love the farmer's market!! Such fresh, good food! :) We really need to get one of those pools again! We had one last year, that the children ruined (turned it upside down when it was empty and jumped on it...cracked it on the side!) However, the children are getting bigger, so it would be nice to get a bigger one...we'll see!

Isn't it great what a little bit of water in a pool can do! Guaranteed for hours of fun.
