pool day!

Well, quite a few days are pool days around here, but we've had lots of them lately with swim lessons and the hot, hot, hot weather.  Most recently though the kids have had a little more fun! 

My dad is in his yearly/bi-yearly draining of the pool and painting of the pool at Southside.  So, while he was working, the kids really had a blast playing in a mostly drained pool where they could both touch and wade.  

Dad power-washing and Beckett loving the  50 meters of freedom to crawl around! 


she found this chair in the water and loved sitting in it! 

Wading w/Mimi
  
Loving that she can stand up in the deep end! 

Now, it's time to brag on my sweet little budding swimmer!  
Ruby Belle has been taking lessons for a few weeks now with Swim America at Southside.  Seems silly since I come from a family of swimmers and swim coaches, right?!  BUT, she has really learned WAY more than we could teach her! Hhere's a little clip!
