Tradition Prevails

Every year, since we moved into our house, we have been in the pool by Memorial Day weekend. This past winter our pool liner failed. We have been dealing with measuring and ordering a new liner and the pool was not ready.

Bessie and Gabe were not willing to accept defeat. The deep end of the pool, about four feet of water, was still full and they were determined to go in. So, braving the very cold murky water, they ventured into the pool to maintain our family tradition.

We had been filtering the water all week to clean it up enough so that the bottom could be measured, so we knew it wasn't too dirty, just a lot of dirt and leaves, but still.

Way to go, Bess and Gabe! You both have terrific adventurous spirits!
