A REALLLLY big hole in our yard

Getting ready to dig!
Walking it out - with all the rain yesterday this was a messy job!
Digging the hole
What we had at the end of the day....
This is what happens when a 2 year old is left inside with his siblings while Mom and Dad are outside with the pool guys. Yes, this WAS a family size box of Cheerios....


After several years of planning, we have taken the plunge (no pun intended, hahaha) and are putting in a pool. Because of heavy rain yesterday, they were delayed starting until today. We have watched heavy equipment transform this corner of our yard into a gaping hole that will be ready for swimming, hopefully by the end of June. Ken's put the boys to work helping to move brush and several small trees that have needed to be taken out. We also have a very tempting mountain of dirt that will be moved around and used for grading tomorrow. We'll keep you posted on the progress!
