Friday night after the rain, we shocked the pool. I have been messing with it all week and haven't been able to get the water to clear up. On Friday I decided to take in a water sample to the pool store in hopes of getting the water clear by this next weekend. The answer: no free chlorine level, so we did a HUGE shock treatment. You can tell by the meter that we were way over the normal amount of chlorine. We usually swim when the yellow color matches the 2nd from the bottom. YIKES!
By today, the level had dropped quite a bit, so I let the kids get in and move the water around. This usually helps clear the water up faster and they had a lot of fun! Hopefully the water continues to improve since this is going to be a HOT week! Even Evan enjoyed sitting on my lap and kicking his feet on the top step.
The first swim of the season is always one of the best!

I wish I was there across the street still, I'd be happy to join you in that lovely pool. I'm glad it cleared up and is warm for your family now.
