This is a picture from round one of trying to fill up the pool. The boys were so excited about getting it full, and we were trying to be water-wise, so we put buckets under the gutters and formed the bucket briggade.
We had a big storm the next day and I kept cycling the buckets until the pool was full. It took a looooootttttttttt of buckets.
The sad news is that the inflatable ring at the top that keeps the water in had a small hole in it and the water all leaked out two days later. It was pretty heartbreaking to see all that water (about 500 gallons) and all that hard work that the boys had helped with go to waste.
Caleb had a good attitude. "We can just fix it and do it again Daddy." Oh Boy. Here we go again.

Oh no- I am exhausted just thinking about having to do that again! Hopefully, this time though it won't all leak out!
