We love my parents neighborhood pool! Our neighborhood has one too, but my parents has the “beach” entry which is so great for a couple of mine who are still learning to swim!:)
**Stacey- to answer your question about my camera, it is a Canon Digital Rebel XT. I bought it refurbished (sp??) last year from a camera shop. I LOVE it! Because of the quality of this camera compared to the point and shoot I had before, I immediately saw a difference in my pictures. However, when I started to learn how to take this camera off the automatic settings and shoot manually it REALLY made a difference in my pictures. It is worth the time to learn about your camera. I have a friend who is a photographer who has graciously answered ALOT of my questions. I still have a lot to learn, but I really enjoy it.:)
