The boys have been in quite a bit the last month, but today was the first day it was warm enough for me to actually get in the pool. Parker and I swam around and played fetch with Belle for about an hour, then I got out and took a few pictures.
Left is Parker practicing his cannonball, then right are
a couple of shots of the pool from the house side.
Here is the pad for what will eventually be the grill/bar/outdoor kitchen (the title and use are still in the negotiation stages). We have the various utilities sticking up where needed, but it may be a few weeks or months before we decide what to do here. This picture shows the view from the back yard.
This picture shows a neat little addition I came up with at the last minute. We had intended to just berm up behind the waterfall, but they did such a nice job with the stonework on the back of the waterfall and the retaining wall a few feet behind it that I hates to cover it up, so I asked the landscaper to just put down flagstone behind it so the boys have a sort of secret room behind the waterfall. It seemed kind of Tom Sawyer-ish to me, and I thought they'd like it. They don't have any chairs or table here, but then neither do the grownups yet.
