Growing up, we had a pool as did most of our neighbors and we had these huge neighborhood picnics with food and games and swimming going on in every yard! It brings back a lot of great memories with good friends and family.
Now I live in Pittsburgh and life is a little different. However, as different as it might be, we have the Green Tree Pool. We did not have this type of community gathering place when I grew up but it's the best $130 one could spend for the summer. No cleaning, no huge electric or water bill and my kids never fail to find a friend and it's usually a challenge to get them to leave.
So this is the Unofficial beginning of Summertime and if this weekend is any indication, there will be a lot of pool time in our future.
I miss the days when summer vacation was about relaxing and hanging out with your friends. Now it's all about working and squeezing your friends in when you can.
