We made our first trek out to the pool today. Granted the trek wasn't far - about 10 feet from our backdoor but still, first of the season. We got the pool last summer and we played in it from April to September. I look back now and wonder what the heck what we were thinking. It was COLD in April!!! This was the first weekend we really thought it warm enough outside to be flouncing around in the pool (temp was 112 in case you were wondering). Last summer, L was so nervous in the water and S.... just fahgedaboutit. He was scared out of his wits. By the end of summer, L was jumping from the side into the pool and S was comfortable floating around. Within minutes of being in the pool, the vacuum kicked on and scared the daylights out of both kids and I though that was the end of the fun for the season but low and behold, I calmed them down and we went on to have an afternoon full of swimming delight. L was jumping from the side and S soon followed suit! It turned into a very fun family afternoon. I am looking forward to many more of these times in the coming months!!
