Summer Fun




Our puppy, Toby, watching the water fun far enough away that he won't get wet.  I think he was nervous about the possibility of ending up in the pool.  He didn't, though.

The girls have always enjoyed being in the water, but ever since they went swimming at my Aunt and Uncle's house in Arkansas, we can't keep them away from the water.  So, in an attempt to keep everything in our bathroom from being ruined by the huge amounts of water leaving the tub during splash fights, Michael and I bought the girls their own pool for our backyard.  It's not a huge pool (just one of those small snap-side pools), but the girls have a blast going "
schlimmin" (swimming).  I think they would sleep out there if we would let them.  They are constantly asking if we can go outside and play in the pool.  We have signed them up for swimming lessons next month and know that they are going to love it.  I'm scared not to get lessons for Rory, especially, since she has no fear of the water whatsoever.  She dives right in head first and has no problem going under the water and getting her face wet.  Abby is a little more cautious, but not much.  I think we have two little fish on our hands.
