Don't worry. It gets even worse the more details I give you.

You might be a redneck if ...

• You spend the day in it
• Pregnant
• And barefoot
• In a bikini

• While your husband wears camo sunglasses
• Duck Dynasty brand

And it was the best $24.99 spent! I have been complaining that we don't have a pool to go to.   I spent the summers at the pool as a kid, lifeguarded for four summers, and then lived in apartment complexes with a pool. This starts our third summer in the house, and I was tired of not having much pool time. Or lake .. or beach .. but pools are much more accessible. It is the best way to lay out in this southern heat!

When we realized how inexpensive they were, we went out that day to get one. We only blew up 2 of the 3 side pieces - so the pool can be even taller if need be. 

For those wondering where we put it: our house backs up to a greenway (one major selling point of the house), so there is nothing but protected land behind us. To keep some of the critters away, Dan mows part of that area (just over the back of our fence). The city cleared the trees to put in the power lines - which makes for a very sunny spot. Here's a better view of the area (the brown thing in the middle is a tree Dan was saving for firewood):

And, for perspective, this is looking toward the back of our house.

It only took us about thirty minutes to get the tarp and the pool out there, panic because we don't own a pump, rig the blower, get it blown up and filled with water. I highly recommend the blower - it took less than one minute to inflate. Afterward, we dumped it, pulled the plugs, rolled it up, and it's ready to go this weekend. 

We also received a battery operated Margaritaville blender for our wedding (thanks Sam and Jason!) which will be perfect out here. Especially post pregnancy :). 

Also, Sam and Jason, we need your Northern influences back. You've only left us for about 8 months now, and look what we are turning into.
