The house that we are renting is in a community called “Coles Crossing”. Each of the communities down here has an HOA (Home Owners Association) that provides services to the community, and each homeowner pays HOA fees annually (or maybe monthly). The HOA fees cover community maintenance and upkeep, garbage pickup (twice a week!), and community facilities.

One of those facilities that we have available to us is the outdoor community swimming pool. Although the pool is at the other end of the community (i.e. not within walking distance), it is pretty fun. There is one large area that is shallow water – with a number of different channels and pool areas to play in.

There is also a fairly deep pool that it connects to. Following are some pictures that Lori took on our first trip (and as a bonus, since Lori had the camera, you are seeing pictures of Ben, which doesn’t happen often). I tried “enhancing” the pictures, but I’m still as chubby as ever, sorry about that.
