Country Cool in the Pool!

Summertime is here!!!!  I love summer, being outside and working in the yard.  Not that I have a perfect yard, I have a very large yard that sometimes gets invaded by farm equipment!  

Back to sweet, sweet summer!  This summer I put our usual baby wading pool up on our cement slab.  It was banished in a few days by the H-O-R-S-E basketball players, our two college boys for summer help and my husband.  In consolation Orrin suggested we use a stock tank in the pasture across the way. He filled a 18 ft tank! I did have to empty it again, using the whirlpool method (walking around and around and AROUND), making the dirt and rocks and algae go down the drain in the middle of the tank.

  We love it!  We follow cow paths over there or ride a 4-wheeler.

Our country pool!

Everyone having fun!

A good-sized float even fits comfortably.  We even play in the dirt around the tank.  It has a nice cement edge, similar to a sidewalk around the whole edge so we don't track in a ton of mud!  The concrete was poured by my husband and his brother in 1995 see...
