The pool is open!

May 17th, 2012.  First day in the pool!

These three were beyond excited about kicking off swim season.

Maddie went down the slide a few times, but not fast enough to go into the water.  She was a little anxious about it and really wanted an adult in there.  We told her that adults' skin is just more sensitive and we just couldn't risk hypothermia.

They went down the slide a few times and just scaled some rocks to get out of actually swimming across the pool for a while.

Meanwhile, this little bathing beauty was enjoying herself immensely in the baby pool.  She loved it practicing her floating skills and putting her face down in the water.  She also loved pouring water all over her dear mother.  She was especially entertained when she got a few screams out of me after pouring really cold water on my back!

After a while, Jackson decided to brave the big pool.  He didn't put his head under, "because I don't have any goggles, mom," but he did great swimming across the pool.

Then Gigi fished out these noodles and one float and they were set.  Big smiles and lots of splashes all around.  We are ready for summer, no doubt.
