Back at the Pool

The pool opened today - something Evelyn has been anticipating for a long time. Our community pool is just a few blocks away from our house, and it only takes a quick, five minutes to walk there. We slathered sunscreen on the girls, got their swimming suits on and headed to the pool.

It was sunny and in the mid-80's, so the girls didn't seem to mind the frigid pool water. Evelyn played in both the really shallow part of the pool and the 3-feet area. She picked up right where she left off last year with swimming around, jumping in from the side and dunking her head under the water. Julia spent the first hour sitting in the 6-inch part of the pool, playing with toys. During the second hour, Julia crawled back and forth in the water. She also practiced standing while holding onto the side of the pool.

After spending two hours at the pool (and another hour, previously, at the park), it didn't take long for the girls to fall asleep tonight.
