Some recent adventures and missadventures!

Things have been going well up here lately - busy as usual! Last week we got our hot tub delivered and started cleaning it out. Rob filled it up and discovered a huge leak so we had to drain it and flip it up to fix the cracked line (apparently there's a reason we got it so cheap, lol). So on friday we called some neighbors to help us lift the tub which then ended up turning into a block party!


The two guys that came to help are husbands of my boot room mom friends - who were well into the wine by the time they got here... lol. Then another family of friends from down the street came over to hang out too. All the kids had a blast playing in the mud pond that ended up in the yard from emptying the hot tub and then of course us parents got into a bit more wine, ordered some pizza and had a great time. I love our neighborhood - all four families have a girl in kindergarten, the dads in the oil patch and we live within four houses of eachother. We're already planning our summer time block party BBQs!


We discovered that we had to order one of the parts for the hot tub line so left the tub up on its side until monday - or at least that was the plan... It seemed pretty stable... until our wind storm on Sunday.... oops.
Who knew 60km/hr winds would knock over a very heavy hot tub? So over to the nieghbors I trecked to explain our misshap, luckily they are very nice people and just laughed. Rob had a couple guys from work come over to flip the tub back and fix the fence! All better now.


Of course we are still waiting for the new heater so the hot tub still isnt working but soon we will be sitting in it laughing about this right??

Okay- way too much fun is being had up there!

We had thought about getting a hot tub at one point, but havent yet. Im not sure if we will. It would be great in the winter though.

Sounds like you have made lots of friends up there. Good for you guys.
