The Pool

Since we had such a good time last week at the pool, I thought it might be a good idea to go again.  Plus, with school not starting for another week and a half, I needed stuff to keep the kids busy and entertained.  The children were quite delighted to go to the pool, and I had fun because we coordinated to go with our friends.  So I got to visit and stay cool in the pool while they played.  

In a surprising turn of events, Delaney decided she was done after about an hour.  At first she was okay to just sit here.  Then she demanded to be changed into her clothes.  She spent the last 20 minutes of our swim time fully dressed on the deck.  Such a pickle!

I love this shot.  It makes me laugh.  Here we have Joshua, chillin' on his floats, completely oblivious to his irate sister, as he mows into her.   And we have half of Callie, who is certain that I am focused on her, and she is oblivious to the drama below her.  Yes, it does make me giggle.

Now I am focused on Callie.  She's turning into quite the ham.  And she's getting pretty comfortable in the water.  She had me in stitches, because she would tell me she was going to swim to me.  Then she would plop her face in the water and run towards me.  It was quite amusing.  While her technique needs a bit of work, she at least is putting her face in!

And I had to get a shot of Marian, my fearless one.  I love the way she hurls herself at the water with 100% commitment. I  love to watch her.

Like your daughter, I remember you fearlessly stripping off your clothes as you raced Miranda to the Monticello pool and "hurled" yourself into the water! You were so fun!
