1 Day of Pool Glory

It was never meant to be. A glorious pool. Cerulean blue with pretty white waves painted on the sides. Atop this piece of fine workmanship was the replica of the majestic orca--complete with sprinkler blowhole. One day of perfection and the piece of $14.95 Target art was ravaged by a beast (raccoon? great white?) in the night, leaving an empty plastic husk in the morning. Enjoy the memories of that one golden day as Owen lays out some lessons on securing your own private pool.


Ah! Nothing like ice cold hose water to start an afternoon off right!


The trick to getting your own private pool is to make it so cold no adult would dare to dip a toe in let alone an entire leg.


Warm that water with your love, summer dreams, wishes for a better tomorrow... and pee, of course.


If anyone dare to come close to your pool, simply whip out some Poseidon-like poses and you have nothing to worry about.



If that doesn't work, splash around like a maniac until the interloper recedes.


If none of those techniques work, simply model how awesome you look in your summer swim wear (in this case a Huggies Blue Jean Diaper), and if anyone eyeballing that pool looks as cool as you, share, share, share.

Did something really happen to the pool? That stinks... Jenn keeps saying that the boy in the commercial for those sexy blue jean diapers looks just like owen... not sure if you've seen it...

Ben -- We really aren't sure if the pool was intentionally offed by a raccoon who hates orcas or whether, as I suspect, the blue clashed with the serene environment and offended the sensibilities of our backyard friends.
