Splish Splash!

All four of us enjoyed a relaxing, but busy, Memorial Day weekend in The Great North with all of the grandparents. It was quite warm here in Pennsylvania last weekend, so we were very happy that Grandpa Dickiedoo has his pool up and running! The kiddos were in the pool once last summer and liked it, and they LOVE the bath, so we were pretty excited to see how they'd do this summer.

Well, it was a huge SUCCESS! We went swimming twice last weekend, and they loved it! The first swim, Colin was fearless. He would walk off the edge into our arms, put his face in the water, and kick and splash! I even had him under water once or twice! Gillian was a little reluctant the first swim, but, in her defense, she was FREEZING! Bean has NO body fat, and despite the 90 degree water, she shivered the whole time. The second swim she was much braver, although still cold. She splashed and kicked, and tried to drink the pool. I almost had her blowing bubbles in the water! We need to get them into swim lessons; they loved it so much!

Shiver, shiver!

We think she was using the whale to "sun" herself warm!

Colin doesn't have any "in the water" pictures because he was trying to get Dickiedoo to let him in the house to check out the ceiling fan. But, he did cuddle up with Noonie.

And then wanted to get back in the water!

We hope to get back in the pool our next visit!
