Pool side







This summer we have spent lots of time either at the lake or down at the neighborhood pool. My kids are fish, and I am not saying that lightly! They are obsessed! We have a rule that as soon as you get out of the car or golf cart before you get to go inside the gate of the pool the kids have to have their arm floaties on their arms. So immediately after we pull up both of the kids come directly to us and start saying put on put on - it's so cute. As soon as we get to the pool they jump full fledge into the pool - no waiting for us they go straight into the water. We love the fact that they have no fear but at the same time we have to be aware and prepared for everything at the pool. We had Evan signed up for some swimming lessons but they didn't go so well so we decided to put them off till next year. Evan didn't necessarily want to do what the instructor wanted him to do - instead he wanted to do what he likes to do and that was to kick, splash, and jump from the side. So, I guess next year will be the year for them to learn without floaties or life jackets. Another thing that the kids have discovered at the pool is the snack bar, Evan knows how to go up and get what he wants (skittles) and tell them his name, and the waiters of course give them to him because they think it's funny and know our code to charge on... We are for sure going to be in trouble when they get older! It's cute now but I am sure we are going to have limits for them when they get older. Here are some pictures from us all enjoying the pool! Have a great day!
God Bless,
Michelle
