So we gave this pool thing a whirl...

Why am I laughing? See Lesson #1.



Lesson #1: Andrew's puny butt isn't big enough to keep his swimsuit up yet.



Lesson #2: Next time, set up the pool in the screen porch where it's nice and shady.



Okay, so we (ie: Ryan) successfully dragged the pool into the screen porch without losing all of the precious warm water.



What a stud. Or at least he thinks so.



Lesson #3: Fill up pool by attaching hose to the mud sink in the laundry room, which has warm, running water. (You can thank my smarty-pants husband Ryan for this one.)



Lesson #4: 5 minutes in pool wears out baby and baby will nap well. Yay.



Lesson #5: Have the towel ready.



Lesson #6: Don't forget to take pictures.

Say Cheese! What a Ham!
