mud baths

Tyson has been putting dirt in the pool for quite a while and yesterday I was tired of it so I drained the pool. With these pools they give you this stupid little pump that always breaks two weeks into summer. The problem was it turned into Jason's project because of my back. The kids loved the mud it made. (Agh!) Taylor would not listen to us, we moved her at least 10 times away from the muddy water. This is the before picture.
And this is the after picture. The head first dive into the mud was not too fun apparently. Even better was the wash up with the hose :)
We stripped the kids naked and turned the hose on them. The problem with Tyson was that all his clothes were in the dryer so he was waiting for them to dry but didn't quite make it. Jason had a good time trying to dress a sleeping boy!
Jason refilled the pool but didn't get the base right and now it leans to the side and looks like it is going to fall over any minute. Man I want a "real" pool. Someday, someday...

  1. Too bad she didn't enjoy the mud bath a bit more.

  2. Love that you got a picture of the mud on her head. Did it teach her a lesson? I am sure it didn't! We use to have one of those pools and unless your ground is compeletly level it sucks! And then you can feel rocks under it and I was always scared it would pop through!

  3. So glad you hosed them off before you got them in the bath- your tub would have been so gross!!! I don't like mud....
