Oh sorry! The boys will be 4 and 2 by then. I am not planning on doing a lot of cooking but like to keep my options open the house has a nice BBQ that we would definitely use. Good question about the pool, I have no idea...but I do worry about them getting out of the ground floor apartment as it looks like it's just a sliding glass door. But on the other hand I worry about them getting out of the house too, I'm just a big ol' worry wart in general!
