This was a big weekend at the Knight household. We started to get the pool ready for opening on May 7th. This is our first pool and the first year... so we really did not know how hard or easy it would be to uncover it etc., We also didn't know what to expect when we took the cover off. Would the water be clear and clean? Or would it be dirty and green coloured.

So Saturday morning David put the pump into the pool to drain the water off the top of the pool cover and we waited... and we waited..... I could not believe how long it took to get the little bit of water there was, off the top. Buy dinner time it was ready to be taken off. We all held our breath. Ryker was hoping the bottom would be full of warms and dirt. Reegan declared if there were worms at the bottom there was NO way she was EVER swimming in the pool again. But in the final moment as we slowing rolled the cover back, there before us shining in the sun was the most beautiful sight a pool owner could imagine. "Crystal Clear WATER!!!!!" What a relief, the pool people told us it would be clear but until you see it it's hard to believe.

Now we had to clean the cover and water bags, They were not so lucky and did not look as clean as the pool.

So now the kids anxiously await the opening and the heater to bring the pool water up to a more human tempter!!!!
