O.K. after three days straight of Mateo and Sarah running around the house and the yard in their swimsuits, I finally let Cristian take the kids to the pool over the weekend. Since it has been in the mid-80s for the last several weeks, the water was actually pleasant (according to Cristian and kiddos). WE DO NOT GO SWIMMING IN DECEMBER/JANUARY! That activity is reserved only for the CRAZY tourists (like we used to be) who vacation in Orlando over the holidays and have their nice heated time-share or Disney resort pools. The community pool must have been nice because they were at the pool for a good 2 1/2-3 hours and IT IS NOT HEATED. And yes, I know exactly how long they were there because that's how long I was able to NAP . . . IN PEACE.

Now, are those pictures of the pool in your neighborhood? Because we are totally crashing and coming to swim there one afternoon when we come to FL.
I can't believe that cold spell - you guys aren't used to it so you will freeze your behinds off!!
Yes, that's our community pool. Part of the reason I love, love, love my neighborhood. The lower picture with the shipwrecked boat is taken looking out the window from the clubhouse where I teach my music classes.
Ohhhhh I am jealous!
p.s. I tried a BK Veggie Burger today thanks to you. Not my favorite. Luckily, I had a few cinnamon bears to wash it down!
Why can't you throw those kids in their suits and put them in the tub?
Not the same?
I say crash the pools at Disney.
Sorry about your weather change...I live vicariously through you!
Dear Heidi,
I got your comment. I got back from Tahoe yesterday (Paige left early) and I feel overwhelmed by the amount of blogging ahead of me. What should I do?
Your pool is incredible. I can't believe it is yours.
I'll come visit with Shannon. I can NOT believe that's your neighborhood pool!!
WOW that is some pool! And sneaking into the Disney resort pools sounds so nice right now. I'm freezing.
