Guess Where My Kids Have Been?

It was HOT last week. This week not so much this week. The temp of the pool is already down at least 10 degrees! Ally & Drew were out almost everyday for two hours or more. One day they got in a 10 am since we were going to be gone that afternoon. They have a blast. One day Tana and I got in with them, but she isn't much fun in the pool yet and shouldn't have that much sun on her fair skin.

Typically she sits in her bouncy seat or swing in the kitchen and I wander in and out to the deck to watch the kids. I really do put (and reapply) sunscreen on them. We do it at potty breaks and icy breaks.

Drew is a ton braver than last year. It was hard to get him pried off the ladder last year and now he is FLYIN' in. He is starting to get the hang of swimming across - doggy style of coarse.

Ally has figured out how to dive and can swim across using the crawl. She isn't incredibly strong yet, but it will come with practice.

Soon they will be better swimmers than daddy. Drew did try to "leap" in over the side like daddy but failed. He needs to be a couple feet taller!
