Happy Flippin Father's Day

Clayton and Michelle and the boys came over for Fathers day.  Clayton began by flipping burgers and sweet onions for all of us - and Michelle made a fantastic Reese's peanut butter pie!

The rest of the day was spent flippin in and out of the pool


 
Clayton shows how a flip off the board requires a solid landing...extra points for holding your mouth correctly



Looking for the rest of his Mariachi band in the hot tub



Michelle coaching her diver



Broden showing his safe swimming attire - it has saved him more than once so far...and he highly recommends wearing a life jacket!

Noah and Clayton practice a little slow pitch


Clayton and Michelle, Noah and Broden...and "the bun"  gave me the gift of a weather station - but since it did not rain today - I worked in the yard.

What a great day

Thanks

Here is the Other Project

Doing the math - I found out that the city of Wyoming will let you hook up to the fire hydrant to fill your pool...caclulating it all out..this was a lot cheaper...and faster than running it through the meter.

Nancy...dont let that 2-1/2 inch line get away from you...(go ahead - ask her the story)




Judy came over to help watch that hose!

It filled in just 2 hours


We are oficially "pool heads"

The view from the deck - Nancy's first swim.  She did not want to go under and get a brain freeze!

Pools open - stop on by!...(okay call first!)


Project updates

The other day we were waiting for the pool paint to "cure" so I decided to power wash the deck.
It came out looking like new...and I then discovered what poor planning it was...Now that you have a clean deck..ya gotta seal it or something!


So here I am staining a deck...that railing took a whole day and a whole gallon!


Here is the "done deck"  complete with a 7 piece craig's list find of patio furniture..good work Nancy
