Sliding Right Into Summer

We had the official summer opening of our pool this past weekend. Ok, so we had to start the heater the night before because it's been so blasted dreary outside that the water was only 70 degrees and I refuse to have guests over unless the pool temp is at least 82. Three families from school joined us for some mid-day bbq and splashin' fun.

Our new addition to the pool this summer?

The Splash Slide.



It was no easy feat to hold Lauren off from trying it out until the first guests arrived.

I'd say the wait was worth it.





Soon enough, everyone piled into the pool and the games began.



Norm manned the bbq (ever the multi-tasker).



After a feast of hot dogs, burgers, sausages, and all the sides, we all had one last dip on a gorgeous day.





Yes, summer at our house is officially declared to have begun.
