Pool Time!

I think summer is officially here as we spent today and yesterday in the pool! We're so excited that we have friends and now FAMILY with community pools nearby so we can enjoy swimming this summer. When we moved here last July we didn't swim at all the rest of the summer. It was so sad after leaving the many pools, lagoons and beaches we enjoyed in California. Anyway, schools let out last week around here, and summer has begun in Georgia. Here are pictures and video capturing the fun...

Jason officially swam in the deep end back in California during our Easter vacation. He still needs lots of practice but he's excited and proud to not be using any sort of floatation device anymore.

Beth refuses to put her head underwater so she spends her pool time floating in pool rings. The only water on her head is there because she was splashed!

Adam is our fish. He does not stop moving in the water and jumps into the deep end with no fear. I'm glad the floaties work so well. I am planning to slowly put less air into them to see if we can get him swimming although he swallows so much water that may not be a good idea. We'll see.

And yesterday was Jill's first time ever in a pool! She clung to me but smiled a lot. Today she actually let go and splashed her hands in the water. Then in the bathtub tonight she had the most fun she's ever had in the tub. She was splashing and laughing. Usually we just wash her and get her out because she never seemed interested. I guess she finally figured out how much fun water can be.

Georgia can be unbearably hot with the humidity but all this pool time might make the summer a popular season again in our household.
