Finally - it's time to start!

Back in May, we somehow decided that we could put a pool in the backyard. The kids LOVE to swim, and we do too. Grant, especially, belongs in the water. Swimming is probably his favorite activity and he has pretty much taught himself to swim. This summer, he started diving down to pick up diving rings! It's so wonderful so see how comfortable he is in the water - everything makes sense to him there.

After a summer of bids and decisions, waiting, more waiting, and EVEN MORE waiting, today was the day! The team came to destroy our current backyard and prepare it for the big hole.

Of course, today was 95 degrees so it made the idea of a pool that much more exciting. By the time the pool is ready, it'll be in the 60s for the rest of the year, but we'll be swimming any way! Here are the pics of today's destruction.
