Robb and I were kind of hoping we could skip putting up the pool this year. But then Emmy made it very clear that not putting up the pool was absolutely unacceptable. And let’s be honest—everyone knows Emmy runs the show. So… up the pool went.
Then Robb came to me with a new idea: “What if we added a slide?”
I didn’t want to crush his hopes and dreams, so I said, “Sure, go for it.”
The result? A full-on Redneck Pool Slide. It looked more painful than fun—but to be fair, it was actually pretty fun… in a chaotic, slightly dangerous sort of way.
In the end, though, the pool was kind of a flop. The water wouldn’t stay clean, and the filter just couldn’t keep up. If we want to try again next year, we’ll definitely need a new filter and a pool vacuum—minimum.
Or maybe… we just don’t put up the pool next year.
(That’s definitely the way the parent vote is leaning.)
