we spent the morning selecting counter tops for the house - more on that in another post. since we were going to be down by the house we thought that we would pack a lunch and our swimsuits for some fun in the sun. madelyn could not have been more excited! her new mermaid ("and dolphin") flotation device helped add to the excitement.it was a little overcast, but still warm (around 80). the pools however were not warm. matt (i think a little dramatically) declared that they must be around 65 degrees. once you got in it wasn't all that bad. to mason, who had a fever, thought that it was wonderful and got right to splashing everyone.
madelyn and mason were both a little panicked about being in regular pool (versus the kiddie pool we are in the for above picture that is only 1-1/2 feet deep at the deepest point). mason wouldn't even get in the water any more. i was able to coax madelyn into letting me carry her for a little bit and worked up to a doggie paddle. if you ask her about it she will declare - "i know how to swim now!", but she has a very, very long way to go before i would call it 'swimming'.
here is a little bit of her in action. love.

What a great picture of all of you (minus Matt). Such a good pool for the kiddos. Love Maddie's swimming!
Loved the pics and "movie". I hope you can use the pool a lot over the summer months and that they become great swimmers! Nana
Fantastic kiddie pool!! You will get so much use out of it in the months to come :)
