Thanks to the recent storms, the swimming pool has been filled with nasty rain water, leaves and some random sticks. I have made the first attempt to get the water as crystal clear as it was before the rain. It may take a while.
Also, the lid was blown off the sandbox out back and it was subsequently filled with rain water. We tried to dry it up, but the additional days of rain was not helping us out. So, Nolan decided to make the best of it and get in some beach practice. You have to prepare to dig in the sand when it is covered by some water. This was a perfect opportunity. I have to say, it was pretty funny, the amount of water that is in there. The sand is saturated and seemingly unimpressed by the additional three inches of water resting on top.
