Swimming, Swimming, in the Swimming Pool!


The pool is open for the season! Murray & I got it out and the water truck came and filled it up. The kids couldn't stand to wait and were in it about 5 minutes after the hose was turned on!



Lovey was having some stomach problems and didn't stay in long so didn't make it into the pictures.





We estimated they'd last 5 or 10 minutes maybe. The water was approx 10 degrees. We greatly underestimated them. They stayed in for the whole time it took for the first load of water. Then they took a break in the playhouse and then got back in before the truck came back for the 2nd run. The delivery guy was incredulous. "They haven't been in there the whole time I was gone have they??" Even considering their little break it's still pretty impressive. Honey's lips were a dull blue/purple when she finally conceded that it might be chilly! They didn't get out until we made them because it was time to go to Grammie & Grandad's for supper.




They were excited to finally get their new bathing suits on and try them out. They swim MUCH better in these ones :)

It's amazing what a difference a new suit will do for swimming ability. :)

Looks fun!!
