The Pool is Now Open...

Though the water is too too chilly for me (69-72 degrees), the boys (and other kids) don't think so! We had some family in from W. Virginia this weekend, and while the adults enjoyed a day of hanging out by the pool (on our new pool furniture...wahoo!), the kids enjoyed a day IN the pool! Since I was playing "hostess", I didn't snap too many pictures, but here are a couple that I got...Being their first time in this season, the boys didn't really want to stop and pose for me either! They were too busy playing and squirting each other!

Austin is like a fish! He was the first one in the pool and the last one out. He insisted that he could put his own sunscreen on today, and if he needed help reaching his back he'd get someone outside to help him...well, he must have thought he got it all and didn't need help, and he's gotten himself his first sunburn on the top part of his back. Bet he let's me help him next time! ;)

Logan learned how to swim without his floaties last summer but he was too "nervous" to try without them today. He said he'd only try it if one of us got in with him, and well, that DIDN'T happen. So, when the water warms up, we'll see what he remembers! He sure loved being in the pool though!

As promised, here's a good picture of Austin at his soccer game today. I am really impressed at how well he goes after the ball this year! He's pretty aggressive and doesn't back down, and he's beginning to understand staying in positions and how that is helpful! His team hasn't won yet, but he's done super!

Anyone that has been to the soccer complex on Old Barnwell knows that while you are there you see lots of planes. Apparently it's in the landing path. Today a big Air Force Plane kept flying threw (maybe practicing taking off and landing). All heads would be looking up at this one...it helped get my little ones excited about the air show we are going to in May! Thunderbirds here we come!
