188 steps

from my front step to the pool gate.

It's a ridiculously short walk. We went for the first time today, not really to swim (or so I thought), but just to have lunch down there and put our feet in since I knew it was still pretty cold. I let the kids put their suits on ahead of time so we'd feel like we were really going. You can probably see where this is going. They didn't give a lick that it was like sub-zero temps and no sun to warm us up. They LOVED it. Purple lips, chattering teeth, and goosebumps on top of goosebumps finally made me tell them to pack it up.

188 steps and we were back. Ahhhh.... I LOVE having a neighborhood pool!
