We've been very spoiled since moving to California. Our old apartment was in a gated community with a beautiful semi-shaded pool area overlooking a marina. And, for all the many reasons that we have to love our new place, we must admit that we miss that private pool. B has asked a couple of times if we can go back and visit.
When the hot weather first started to hit us, T went out and bought a $10 inflatable kiddie pool at Target. It has been a huge hit! The kids love splashing around in it and its pretty nice to sit on the camp chairs along side them and dip our feet in the cool water. Thankfully the landlords or previous tenants left a patio umbrella and stand, so we can have some shade and use the pool anytime of day.
Here are some photos from our first day with the pool.

of course we had to get goggles too
doing a silly, happy dance
sometimes you just want to play on the steps
there she goes, first one in the new pool!
it was a pleasant surprise for J after a hot bike ride home
