For the first time this summer, we were finally able to enjoy a fun, warm day at the pool! Our good friend Karen has a nice pool in the complex where she lives and she is always nice enough to invite us over to swim. Alex has turned into quite the little fish! He strapped on that life jacket and jumped right in. He swam for hours with a few mom-mandated breaks in between to warm up and rest. Alex made fast friends with all the other kids at the pool yesterday and loved throwing the dive sticks for the big kids. I had actually been getting worried about Alex's reliance on floatation devices in the pool, but his swim instructor at the Y told me today that they are moving him up to the class where he can remove his float now! What a big boy :)
I had purchased a cute ladybug float with a canopy for Abby and once she got used to being in the water, little by little, she did really well. She kind of stretched out in the float sideways and didn't mind getting wet at all. Now, she DID mind if she got splashed and always gasped very dramatically when this happened. Of course, she looked mighty cute in her polka dots too!

She's so darling. I can't wait to see her (and all of you) soon!
What a fun afternoon! You're welcome anytime. The best part when was when Alex wanted to get the attention of his new friends (names of which are still unknown) and he'd call, "Girl!" :)
