We started talking about this last week and I started doing some research yesterday afternoon...

We were talking about getting a smallish round above ground pool. From house to fence is only 20' so we couldn't get anything huge.

I started checking out prices online and even for a 12' x 48" pool we were looking at about $1000, which was Mark kinda figured.

I ended up on eBay and I found this Intex inflatable pool 12' x 36" for $59.99 + $31 shipping. We're like 'ah hell, if it only lasts the summer we'd get our money's worth.
So I started doing more research. I found another with the filter pump for $114 + $50 shipping.. but it was in Florida. So Mark suggests I try to find some place that sells them locally... as it turns out Target does and they had a 15' x 36" in stock with the pump, skimmer, cover, and ladder for $154!

So we head out to our local Target...THEN we find THIS....on the shelf next to it 15' x 42" pole pool..$299



We pull the box off the shelf and find a sale tag for it... $239... SOLD!!! SO $255 after tax and we got us a pool! LOL

It went up really easy, we had it set up in less than an hour.







Tiny got his feet wet... and here's Mark relaxing...






We spent the night sitting in our camping chairs watching the water rise till it was about to our butts and went in to have dinner.
