The Banyan - Hua Hin...part 2

Our Backyard on Vacation

The Pool
Back in March, when Dan first got home from his big trip, we went to Hua Hin for a vacation. I posted pics of our time there, but not of us in our pool at the house - so here's the follow-up only 1 1/2 months late!

We had a private pool in our backyard, which was sooo fun! It was the perfect size for our family! Jack and Megan had a great time running around the outside of the pool trying to find a good time to jump on Dan and wrestle him and Kylie had a great time diving for rings on the bottom! The kids and I don't love sunscreen - or getting sunburnt - so our favorite time to go swim is around 3:45pm! No sunscreen required and we stayed in the pool until 6:30pm or so...and we also swam in the morning, but we love it when we can swim without sunscreen!

We also bought an inflatable raft to use in the pool - it was a hit with the kids!

What happens when Daddy tries to jump on the raft while Megan and Jack are on it...


...and he jumps too much! He flies right over it!

And finally one last one to assure you that I swam, too!
