A Dylbilly Hot Tub

"Look at this awesome swimming pool Grandpa built for me! Grandma calls it my 'hillbilly hot tub."

"And he gave me this super cool toy to play with - Mommy calls it a bobber."

"My swimming pool toys consist of a noodle, diving ring, bobber, measuring cups, a sanded chunk of wood, and a bathtub squirter toy. I have eclectic taste."

"Thank you for my swimming pool, Grandpoppy! I love it!"

An aerial view: I think the full size noodle is really what makes it classy.

"The sturdy 2x4 frame is pretty awesome. I helped Grandpoppy make it by handing him nails and helping Mommy hold one end up while he was working on the other end. I can use the frame to pull myself up on..."

"Or to rest my feet on!"

The cutest little butt. :) I'm pretty sure Dyl loves naked baby swim time. Who wouldn't want to have their diaper off for at least a little while when it's literally 102 degrees outside?

"Ooooh! A noodle!"

"I can get it. I'm a big girl now and I'm getting pretty darn good at reaching, and even nearly crawling."

"Ta dah! There's a pretty awesome view from my pool too - this is the good life."

We've been loving Dyl's homemade baby pool! It's just too hot and gross outside to do anything besides sit around in water. Dylan gets bored when we stay inside all day though, and she LOVES the water, so it's been really nice to have this to entertain her. Who knew visqueen and 2x4's could make something so cool?? (Pun intended.) Hope you're all surviving the heat wave and staying cool!
