The Oasis is OPEN!

WOOHOO! Check it out, people in the pool!!! They're still working on a few minor details, but for the most part, we are up and running. The kids were so excited last night and nearly drove us nuts until we finally said "Yes, you can swim now!" I can't say enough about Doug and his crew from Stone Crest Pools. They've worked day and night to get this thing built and we are thrilled with the results. The landscaping (which I'll take more pics of later) is absolutely amazing and we truly feel like we have our own little oasis right in our backyard. If you're in the DFW area and are even thinking about getting a pool, please call Doug first, you'll be glad you did!

Here are a few more shots from our first night in the pool (I didn't take many as I was just as excited as they were to get in).

The girls and I are headed down south today to spend the 4th at my bff's B&B and the boys are staying here to hold down the fort while the workers finish up. I hope all of you have a happy and safe July 4th weekend!!!
