A Redneck Afternoon!

I was lucky enough as a child to always have a pool around during the summer. My grandparents had a very nice in ground pool complete with a diving board, and when I was very young my parents also built an in ground pool right in our backyard! I have to admit that I was a bit of a snob about the whole thing and secretly laughed at others who didn't have access to a pool or were forced to enjoy (gasp) an above ground pool! I guess this was all before I understand the value of money and how expensive pools really are to build and maintain :)

Well, I'm sad to say that in our efforts to provide different entertainment options in our own backyard for our kids, we were not able to fit a nice pool into the budget. However, I was able to go to Target and spend less than $20 on a sprinkler toy and a baby pool! Lucky for me, my kids didn't seem to notice the difference in this and a full size pool :) I guess we are all rednecks at heart! Here's a few pics from our redneck afternoon!
