This past week Mari and I celebrated our birthdays, with small parties on our birthdays and a bigger family party on the weekend.
A few pool shots from the past week.
It isn’t very often we get to go swimming in October, but the weather has been holding on. The pool was freezing.
It isn’t the warmest yet, but that doesn’t stop us from enjoying the pool. I think the water was in the upper 60s today.
We opened the pool today. It was 50 degrees out with 25mph winds, but we went for it. Now all of the “Birch Worms” have a nice place to land.
There isn’t much swimming in September, but there is some. I have been in a fight with the pool for a couple of weeks and I am happy to have it swimmable again.
