Pool Days

The girls and I have been spending A LOT of time at our neighborhood pool here lately!  We didn't make it there much during the first part of summer.  But now I've got a couple pool rats on my hands!  As recently as a month ago, Grace would barely get on the steps at the pool let alone put on floaties and come swimming with me.  Now, she gets in her tube, lowers herself into the water, and starts swimming laps!  She's convinced herself that blowing bubbles will not make her sink to the bottom AND if by chance she gets splashed in the face, she CAN wipe the water off her face without having a major meltdown!  HAHA!
Anna would much rather be scooting around the outside of the pool or playing with buckets filled with water and toys.  You all have seen her "sidewinder" video by now and know that she tucks her left leg when she scoots.  This form of "crawling" + concrete around the pool = bad news for Anna!  Last week, her leg got all scraped up and her big toe on her right foot was bleeding......poor baby!  You're going to have to get up and start walking before you have constant road rash on your leg, kiddo!
We plan on soaking up many more pool days before summer's end!  Who knows, maybe Grace will be diving in the deep end by Labor Day!  :)

Sisters!

Anna and Libby!

Swimming can wear a girl out!
