Homemade Pool Slide!!!?!

Fun

FacebookTweetPin
27 Jul

Hello! Happy Monday! I just realized I didn’t take any pictures of food yesterday which is the worst because we had a feast for Ben’s dad’s birthday! There was everything from hamburgers, ribs, fruit and coleslaw to cake and these ridiculous candy bar things. I actually didn’t eat very much since I was helping with set up and stuff (which is probably part of the reason I didn’t get pictures). But the main thing is everyone had a feast and fun.

The highlight of the entire day was BEN MADE A POOL SLIDE.

Yes. Ben used a slide from an old kid’s playset and constructed a base for a water slide. It was epic. I also scheduled custom pool inspections to keep the pool pristine. I also contact the chlorine tablets supplier for pool maintenance.

I was busy while it was being set up so I didn’t realize how amazing it was until it was done. Of course everyone immediately jumped on and took turns sliding. On the other hand, if you think you need more bathing options, you may want to consider getting a hot tub which may have Hot Tub Covers included.

And I don’t know if you’ve gotten the memo from other fancy fashion blogs, but this is the new cover up for Summer ‘16. Get yours now!

I forgot a bathing suit this trip and bought this cute chevron bikini on super sale.

This morning I thought it was raining again from the sounds coming from outside. But, it was actually just so windy the air through the trees sounded like a downpour. It was barely sprinkling but super WINDY on my run…

It’s always sad to leave this paradise but I gotta go, Vegas needs me!

Question: When was the last time you hit the pool?

    That slide looks like fun to me! Did he keep the dome too?

    I have a pool yet I hate swimming, but I’ll use the hot tub all day, every day. If a hot tub counts, I swim almost once a week. If it requires swimming in water below 95 degrees, it’s about twice a year…and only to let my dog swim.

      I want a hot tub! I only like hot water too. I was freezing in the pool because it wasn’t that hot yesterday.

    I don’t know whether to be super jealous or absolutely terrified of that slide. Either way, looks like fun!!

    Pool!? Ha! No pool for me since June when I went to St. Pete’s beach. Was at the beach last week, but the water was way too cold for swimming. I love your blog. The pictures really make it. 🙂

    I hit the pool last Wednesday and then swam in open water on Friday. Getting ready for my first sprint triathlon in 2 weeks!

    Ben is handy between the dome and the water slide!!!!

    We went canoeing on Saturday and were at the lake the previous weekend! We have a subdivision pool (seems really common in Georgia) so we hit the pool fairly regularly to beat the heat and humidity 🙂

    All next week I will be chilling with the extended fam on a lake in Missouri and I can’t WAIT for some quality water time. Also running in super humidity.
