Bathing Beauties

Today we spent a solid two hours at our little neighborhood pool and had a ball. We hadn't been since swim team wrapped up last Friday and the boys were missing their daily time in the water.

It was another dreaded sweat fest of a day with the temperatures in the mid 90's and intense humidity since a storm was coming in later tonight. Perfect weather for a lazy day at the pool.

We met four other families from our ward at noon so there was a little gang of kids for the boys to play with. Other than our LDS clan, the pool was virtually empty. What a treat!

Trey is the king of crazy dives, Josh kept racing me and the girls up and back (which he won every time) and Matt swam for about 1/2 hour and then retreated to the lounge chairs to play with his Star Wars action figures that were conveniently still in the van from our trip to Louisville.

At least the hot weather made me want to get in to swim with the Brynn and Kaitlyn. 95% of the time spent at the pool this year has been with the girls in their stroller, as we watched the boys swim from the pool deck.

Today was the first time the girls actually smiled when they were in the big pool. It isn't heated to my knowledge and you usually have to inch your way while trying to control your shivers! It was a lot of fun and the girls amazingly left their hats of their heads and had smiles on their faces while they floated in their little inflatables. I'm so glad we have a this extra place to hang out when all the kids are home all day in the summer.
