No, the natives aren't skinny dipping-though there was that one time last week that Ben swam too fast and his bathing suit couldn't keep up-but what I'm talking about this time, is the "wild life" that have come visiting.
We've had a mouse, 2 frogs, and some amazon sized beetles (OK, they were only about 1 inch long) swimming around our pool. The mouse story is my favorite. He was hiding in the vacuum hose and when I threw the hose in the pool and started shooting water through it, the mouse popped out the other end and started swimming around. Thank goodness some friends were there, because the older boys were thrilled. They scooped it up, but then dropped the poor thing. It then suddenly became and very comical scene, where the moms jump up on chairs while the boys chase the mouse around the pool deck.
All in all, a fun memory. I'm just grateful it wasn't a snake.
