Pool Day!

The biggest perk of our new neighborhood?  The pool, of course!  We have been visiting the pool quite frequently this summer.  It has been fun to watch the kids blossoming in the water, Carter in particular has gotten much more brave.  Ava loves to kick and splash around, and with her floaties on she will swim to the deep end of the pool and back.  Dawson does not particularly enjoy the pool.  He will go in the baby pool, but it is not heated and I'm a wimp.  I usually encourage him to play near the big pool.  He sits and scoops water, sprinkles the pool with the watering can, and tries to use the squirt guns.




Walking down to the pool with our stroller loaded with towels, toys and lunch!
Dawson is wearing my sunglasses upside down.


Carter's latest pool trick:  He puts the ring into the water, then runs and jumps into it.  He dosen't need to wear his floaties because he is in the shallow end, so he goes all the way under.  Believe me, even a month ago this kid would not put his head into the water for anything, so this was a big deal.


Splash!


Big smile!  Proud of his accomplishment, as he should be!
