the cow trough has finally made its debut for the summer months.

it's an exciting first week when we get it down, fill it up and add the bubbles. it's a little piece of heaven for both them and for me.
the cow trough debut for the summer months
after the trough's official inauguration into summer 2009, the boys decided to kill some time, bask in the sun and just talk about life. all while throwing back a few orange otter pops. -- because we don't waste the good flavors on little kids.
just talkin'
(20 minutes later i found them in this same position, only completely naked. their little tushies got burned.)

we'll have a pool party when you guys finally move here. i'll even set out the beach chairs and umbrella next to the trough, because we're classy like that.

i wished you lived around the corner, we'd be kickin' in the trough like every day! i mean that is if you would let us.

one of my favorite memories of '08 involves the cow trough... well, draining it and letting the kids get all muddy.

it's seriously a favorite memory of mine.

I even have a few VERY old memories of swimming in the trough. I'm glad it has found new youth to bring it some joy.

Is it bad that I still think inanimate objects have feelings?

kayleen said...
