Alas! There is a flurry of activity in our backyard so early in the morning. They are prepping the yard for the pouring of the cement. There are 9 people out there. I think I will finally see floor on the deck instead of dirt. Yipee! I am sooooo excited!
I just added this picture Tuesday evening. They are getting ready to pour the cement on the deck in the morning. The workers just left and this is how the pool looks like right now. More pool progression photos are at the bottom.
It's hump day and also Outdoor Wednesday! Yipee! We get to go outside with Susan of http://asoutherndaydreamer.blogspot.com/. Let's all see everyone's outdoor pics by going through Susan's blog.
I have so many pictures I want to share with you so I thought of creating a mosaic. You can click on it to enlarge it since I know the individual pictures come out small. AJ, John and I went swimming on the beach. It was very crowded and we got to stay only for less than an hour because we had tickets for a dinner cruise. We went back to the condo to take a quick shower and get dressed and then went to Destin Marina. My daughter, Rochelle, son in law, Derek and of course granddaughter AJ joined me and John for a very nice dinner in a yacht. The food was very good, beef, chicken, mashed potatoes and veggies and we had cheesecake with banana slice and pecan praline topping. Yummy!
After dinner, we got to watch the fireworks right on the deck aboard the yacht.
And now, another update on the pool. The turbo slide, the one facing the right way, arrived.
They have to finish installing the plumbing for them to be able to place it. They are also finished with the brick coping around the pool.
I think they did a good job on the brick coping. I really like it. And there's AJ enjoying the pool. The deck should be poured tomorrow or Wed. I will be happy if it gets done this week.
Thank you so much for coming by, And thanks to Susan for taking the time to host another fun event.

Let's all see everyone's outdoor pics by going through Susan's blog.I am a little behind but that does not mean I can't show you more of our 4th of July holiday pictures. As you probably have read in my past blogs, we spent the weekend in Destin, FL.
Below is the 2 bedroom condo where we stayed at Sandestin. The first pic is the view from the master bedroom window and the other 2 are views from the balcony, which is the 3rd picture.

4th of July dinner on a yacht! It doesn't get any better than that! Beautiful pictures. I enlarged each one. Your daughter looks so much like you and is as pretty. The ocean views and beach make me want to jump on a plane now!! Wonderful idea to do a mosaic.
The pool looks fabulous. I like the design. I am anxious to see the finished project (well, not as anxious as you! LOL!!). It does look like it will be fun though!
Happy Outdoor Wednesday, Christine!! :-)

I love that you have the woods in the background of the pool. It will be so pretty when finished.
We are heading to the beach in two weeks. I hope it isn't as crowded then.

I love the shape of your pool and the liner is a fabulous color of blue. It makes it all so inviting.
The finished pool area is going to be delightful. It looks as though everyone had a wonderful holiday. Thanks for sharing your pictures with us.
What a beautiful pool...I'm sure your family and friends will enjoy swimming there!
That firwworks display is incredible! I miss our boat if only because I love to watch the firework on water. Happy Outdoor Wednesday!
Your pool is lovely!
fantastic!!!

The pool when done is perfect for the summer! Love also the 4th of July collage. Thanks for your comments.
Morning Christine, thanks so much for stopping by my TT. I always love your visit. Just to let you know, the next Cloche Party is not until Sept. I don't have a date yet, but probably about the middle of Sept. That way we can do a fall theme. Seems most everyone voted to have the event seasonally, so I thought maybe fall, then Christmas, then winter. Maybe every 2 or 3 months. I've found several reasonable cloches online and the wire one I did today was from Ross. They are fun to work with. Have a super day. Hugs, Marty
Such a pretty pool - can't wait to see it all finished! Your vacation to Destin looks like it was relaxing and fun - and dinner looked yummy!
Happy Outdoor Wednesday!

Great pictures of Sandestin. The dinner cruise sounds like such fun, and the fireworks photos are beautiful! (I just can't believe how quickly AJ is growing up.) laurie
Christine, I just wanted to let you know that I've scheduled the next "Cloche Party" for the 11th of Sept. for the Fall season. Grab the button on my sidebar to remind you and to let your friends know. See you there. Hugs, Marty
Hubby grew up going to Destin since he was two, we have been every year sometimes 5 or more time a year. Last year we missed. We are going in September. After 12 hour today mostly driving, we could have been in Destin and back! lol Love the pool! Luck you!
What a beautiful pool. And great family photos at Destin. We had family that lived in Niceville, so we would go to Destin throughout the years.
I'm behind in reading the blogs I follow, so now I am slowly catching up.
Thanks for commenting on mine again (no I dont speak Tagalog or my mom's dialect... I wish I did!)
How old are your children? and are they all living near you?
