cool pool!

watching for water to fall

We were able to go to another friend's pool this week and the kids had a blast! This pool had buckets that dumped water on their heads, a giant mushroom with water that came down and more! It's been SO hot that the water felt like bath water but the kids didn't seem to mind:)! (Braden usually complains he's cold in the water but there was none of that this day!) Kinsey once again swam away from us and even got out a couple times and jumped in BY HERSELF! Cailey desperately wants to learn how to swim so she can go down the slide. Most pools around here require you to know how to swim before you can go down the slide. (Makes sense) The problem is she's TERRIFIED to get water up her nose. MORE swim lessons to come in July...hopefully she'll be a swimmer by the end of the summer! This is the third year I've said, "I can NOT have three non swimmers at the pool again!" Water wings and life jackets have helped out this year though. (In the past we ONLY went to the Y pool where they don't allow water wings and their life jackets were worthless for my kids. This year we have FRIENDS that let us come hang out at their water wing friendly pools and the Y got smart and bought new toddler friendly life jackets!)
