Our yard is in!

  I am so happy to finally say our pool is full!  We have had so much
 drama with getting it completed.  Our pool guy "Peterson and
 sons," (Never get work done from this guy) was supposed to have
 our pool done last October.  Needless to say 7 months later, we
 hired pebble tec to come in and finish the bottom right.  They
 busted it out in 1 1/2 days, it was amazing.  We had to fill the
 pool A.S.A.P so Jeff got a fire hose from his dad, and we hooked
 it up to the fire hydrant right in front of our house (so convenient).
  It took 3 1/2 hours to fill the pool.  We had to take turns holding the
 hose.  All I can say is fire men our tough, it shot out so much water
 it could knock you on your butt.  My kids were so excited  they ran 
in the house, and put their suits on.  They were in the ice cold water
 playing the whole time.  I must have turned into a wimp since I've
 gotten older, I had a hard time putting my feet in!  We filled the pool
 on Thursday, and we had our sod party on Sat, just enough time to 
heat the pool.  Our friends, and family are awesome! we had so much
 help.  We busted out 12,500 square feet of  grass in just over 1 hour. 
 Thank You! Thank You! to all those that helped.  It was now time to 
party!  We swam, ate, played basket ball, jumped on the tramp, and
 ALL got a sun burn.  I love my yard!  I'm so excited for my kids.  They
 are going to have so much fun this summer!  We are so blessed.

That is so much fun. Very cool. You need to put up pics of the finished project. Now that I am having a baby, a pool sounds like a ton of fun. It's so great to have with little kids. Congrats!

Is that a pool or a lake? Looks like so much fun. Is it warm enough to swim there?
How did you make the slide show do that?
