Pool Time!

In our neighborhood, we have a community pool that we take the kids to in the summer. The kids LOVE it and so do we! At the beginning of the summer I insisted that Sam stay in the kiddie pool with Parker. As the weeks have past, I've let go a little and have been letting her go in the big pool. She feels so lucky and really, really has a good time. I can't believe she's big enough to go in the big pool! She does great. I don't even go with her. I stay in the kiddie pool area with Parker and observe from across the fence. At first, a little nerve racking, but not so bad anymore. She's a pretty good swimmer and there's lifeguards.

Well, here's some pictures from a couple times we've been at the pool so far. The first ones are from when I made Sam stay in the kiddie pool. The others are her being miss independant in the big pool. Why do they have to grow so fast?!

Sam and her friend, Elisabeth.

Parker has no fear of that water. Even in the big pool he's quite the daredevil.

Sam showing off a bit. She loves to jump in!

Parker is a little envious of Samantha's move up. He likes to get out of the kiddie pool and yell at the top of his lungs "Hi Samantha!"

Just chillin', waiting for some action to happen on his side of the fence!!!
