Our neighbors have two teen-aged kids who attend a private school and don't have any friends in the neighborhood besides ours. So Brooks, pictured here on the right of Christopher, who is four years older than my son, hangs out here at our house all the time. Christopher and Brooks often play World of Warcrafts on the computer, jump on the trampoline, and here, they're having fun spinning and twirling around these broom handles. They think there's a lot more to do here, so they are always over here rather than next door. (Fine with me!) Brooks is a really good kid and as polite is as can be. His mom, Stacy, comes to card camp with us sometimes.
Christopher is concentrating on his sweet skills with the broom handle.

Three of the waterfalls work. This is the main one and I like the natural look. Below, here's the deep end waterfall, and it's flows nicely. The water sheer like this one, that flows into the shallow beach area, is the fall that is not working. It's frustrating, but hopefully they'll fix it soon. The fountain in the spa is blocked too. Here's the small rock waterfall, which works just great. It took about 18 hours to fill the pool and we practically watched it gallon by gallon. I stayed up all night long, making sure it didn't overflow. We swim in it every day. Last night we went on a midnight swim and it was beautiful. The water temperature is perfect. I'm extremely thankful that we have our new...
