To public pool, or not to public pool?


A wanted to go swimming. Well, we could have went to the Roy aquatic center.....but it was a Friday the day after a holiday and who wants to brave the crowds at a public swimming pool? Who even needs a built in swimming pool in the back yard? Obviously not the Patterson's! Okay, we are a bit RED-NECK, but we had our privacy, fun, and no crowds in our very own 8 foot pool!!! Beat that!

Big man in a little pool!!

L's a veteran when it comes to the ocean...but backyard swimming? This was her first time!
Splash-a-Splash-a!

And that's how the Patterson's like to spend their holiday's...just chalaxen'.

I am SOO with you when it comes to public pools...NO THANKS! I would rather buy a pool or slip-n-slide and let the kids go crazy in the back yard. I love "big Guy in a little pool"!
