I was getting so grossed out looking at that big chunk of meat in all it's red juice glory....I had to upload some refreshing photos to take it's place. Summer has officially begun and it's finally warm....in the middle of a chaotic few days we decided to take a break and go to Grandma and Grandpa's house.
The first jump can be the hardest.....sooo cold at first. After that....fun in the sun.
When my parents built their home over 30 yrs ago....my dad also built this pond, complete with a waterfall and bridge. They have their own oasis in the middle of a suburban neighborhood. Right now it's loaded with tadpoles and a few croaking frogs......
.....really loud frogs.
I sat by the edge visiting with my dad. A nice little escape.....until we had to get back to reality and my messy house.....working late hubby and empty fridge. I think we may go back tomorrow ...hopefully G-man can join us there this weekend ....did you read that G? wink, wink.

Awesome!!! Particularly love the frog picture! :) Glad you guys are getting out there to enjoy the summer! It's hotter than blue blazes down here!!
That pool looks incredibly refreshing.
I love the garden and pond! My son would totally be catching that big old frog!
That looks like a fun and relaxing day. My neighbor has opened their pool, so we will be spending some days swimming with them.
The pond is lovely, but that frog would have to go!
Gotta love summertime and playing in the pool! I love your dad's pond too. It looks like it would be a very relaxing spot to enjoy.
Thanks for stopping by on Friday Flashback. I am trying to catch up after a weekend away. Hope life slows down for you guys!
I'm terrified of frogs (shhh...don't tell anyone!), so I wouldn't have been caught dead anywhere near that gorgeous pond snapping that picture. Good blog material or not!
I love summer days at the pool!!! How blessed to be able to enjoy it with your parents!
Look at your sweet Daddy!!
I want me and my kids to be with you and your kids at Grandma's pool!!
Oh, I think I'd be there everyday! There's NOTHING like lounging in the sun and jumping in with friends by your side!!
Soon, though right!
That looked like one perfect summer day!
I love the picture of your day and can picture you sitting their visiting....special!!!
I love the pool and the pond and the frog. Mostly though I love that you sat by your Dad and visited at the pool. One of my favorite things to do is sit and talk with my FIL about anything, everything, and nothing. Sweet, sweet memories. Enjoy your fun in the sun!
Looks like the boys had a blast...great pics. I love the one of the boys waiting to take that "big" jump!! The frog pic. is so good it looks fake!! Nice :P
i have some boys that would love to come play in that pond and try to catch those croaking frogs!!!
Oh so gorgeous! They look so happy :D
Great pics of some great summer fun!
Oh, I love your Dad. What a wonderful, wonderful person! Beautiful backyard. Amazing that your father could be so forward thinking way back then! Also, LOVE the boys jumping into the cold, blue water : )
