Pool Party!

So last Friday night....Meaning July 9th. Tressa, Sarah, and I were sitting around the house trying to think of something we could do. Tressa and I were planning on going camping that weekend but it just didn't happen. We were both exhausted and didn't really want to leave the house. It was also ULTRA hot (We don't have air conditioning) and I wanted to go swimming. So I thought of a plan..... I made a quick trip to K-mart and picked up a 19.99 inflatable swimming pool and blew it up nice and big!


After the pool was ready, we put it in the kitchen, put on our bathing suits, and went for a swim!





During our swim we soaked and enjoyed the fine film, Madagascar. To follow our aquatic adventure, we then set up a tent provided by our wonderful friend Eric and camped out for the night in our living room. It was great! (minus the fact is was only a 2 person tent. Warning: when they say two person capacity, they MEAN it.)

Please excuse my lack of clothing. It was SOOOOO hot and well, it's my house and my blog. :)

Sarah was already asleep.

I did temporarily clothe myself for this picture. It was a tight squeeze in there but we had a great night!

Here are some more pictures of our night.

Sarah Made us a fantastic spaghetti dinner before our swim. Luckily none of us got cramps in the water.

Filling the pool up. (we used buckets too)

We were getting rid of the water. It was to heavy to carry the pool outside so we dumped most of it down the sink. Looking back, we really should have cleaned our dishes while we were at it.

Sarah Drake, my 1st counselor, came over to help deflate the pool. It was a lot of fun!

We had a blast camping and swimming without having to even leave the comfort of our own home. Tressa and I were a little nervous during our swim because we live next door to the apartment managers and I don't know how much they would like it if they knew we had a swimming pool in our apartment. But not to worry, I read the whole contract and it said nothing about swimming in your kitchen being against the rules!
