The Swimming Pool

For Christmas we decided to give our children a rubberized pool. I know that may sound a bit odd as like you we are used to cold at Christmastime, but here the temperature is very warm and to get the kids outside in the warm weather, we needed a way to cool them off. The sprinkler works well for a little while but then everyone gets dirty as well, so the pool was the way out. As you can tell they greatly enjoy it. We put it in our center court where the big dog can’t get to it and put a hole in it, but it is shaded and so it stays quite cool. Let me tell you, it will wake you up if you are sleepy.

We decided to make a treasure hunt of it for the kids where they had Bible verses as clues to eventually find the pool. It is always a great thing to get kids into God’s Word.

Here is a picture of Leslie finding one of the clues about a stringed instrument.

Here is a picture of Kyle finding a clue in the wall.

It has been a great blessing to our family, except for maybe Joy, who has had to learn to swim.
