PAPA'S HOT TUB

Walt loves his hot tub. It is probably his favorite thing that we own. He uses it almost every day and so we definitely get our money's worth out of it. I only get in during cold weather and then it is just a little piece of heaven. I hate to be cold and nothing feels better on a cold winter's night then to just soak in 104 degree water. The grandkids also love Papa's hot tub and they are not picky about the weather. They get in year round and it is probably one of the best things about coming to Papa's house. I take lots of pictures of them so this post is dedicated to the hot tub. What is cuter than this little ballerina swimmer? Nothing completes an ensemble like bright purple and green goggles.

And then we have this cute little imp sporting the tye-dye look (she is so much her mother!) and the upside down pink goggles....that's right, goggles can be worn either way.

One of George's first times in. He loved it. Hot tubbing is quite the family affair around this place.

And this guy loves it too. He spends quite a bit of time in here. Sometimes, especially during the winter, he will just go out in the afternoon or evening and spend an hour or so just playing with his toys in the hot tub. We do have to watch him during the summer however. A few weeks ago I caught him up on the railing of the deck...about six feet above the tub...cannon balling into the hot tub....not good!!

A little daddy/ son time.

Group time.

I love George's look here. He has the most serious expressions... like he just has a lot on his mind.

Mommy /son time.

The ballerina and her daddy. I love that my kids are always willing to get in the hot tub with the little ones.

Just four of my seven grand daughters. I LOVE to watch all of them play. I have one seven year old, two five years olds, a four year old, two three year olds, and a nine month old. They are hilarious to watch and most of all to listen to and they all get along so great.

I complain about the expense of the hot tub. Sometimes I am not so thrilled with the water mess in the house when everyone is here and running in and out. But overall, this has been a good family investment and I am so glad that my kids and grandkids like it and get to enjoy it.
