Backyard

ok i am going to try to explain the backyard to those of you who have not been here before. first of all the pool that you see we got 4 years ago and the kids were nice and small then, now they are large and have a hard time in it. but they still go in and wrestle just to cool off. behind the pool is a tarp hanging from our house. this is where we keep the bikes and other toys that we want to shelter from the rain since we have no garage or shed that is big enough. we also have a clotheslines that is near the lean to shed that i use quite a lot during the warm months, it also makes it nice to hang the suits and towels up. many days i will be in my house and the boys will run through naked cause they hang up there suits before they come in, heaven for bid they make a second trip outside to hang them up, haha. if you look closely to the left of the pics below you will see a chain link fence, that is our dogs kennel, the only thing we use it for is for her to go potty, she knows to go in there and go potty then she can run the yard. it has been great cause it condenses the area to clean to just there. she is not perfect, if we dont remind her she will go outside, as a matter of fact i went out yesterday and there were 2 spots like inches from the outside of the kennel where she had gone, like she just couldn't make it around the corner.
