When it rains it floods

We decided it would be fun to get the kids a little larger pool for the summer.  It's a TON of prep getting things level and the ground ready with sand.  We thought we were ready.  The kids were stoked!!



This was one of the last pictures of the pool upright.  Shortly after this we had the side topple.  This caused a gush of water over the side.


At first it was kinda funny to see the water flowing over the lawn.  I wasn't sure where the water went though, so I peeked over the fence to see that we'd washed the beauty bark as well as some dirt off of my neighbors planting bed and all over into their lawn.  I called the neighbors to say I'm soo sorry and see if we could help.  She was a bit confused and then she said "It's ok, we'll handle it.  Things are a bit crazy right now my husband's dad just died"...UGH!!! Can I say double UGH!?!?!?  I felt horrible! They were able to rake it back into the planter beds, but yah, I felt horrible!
