I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but we’ve already fallen into our summer routine. It’s a little different from last year, but we take FULL advantage of the weekends. We call Saturdays a “pool day”. I almost laughed when SD asked me Friday night what our plan for the weekend was. Did he have to ask?
We got up bright and early to get a few things done around the house and started packing our bags. Spending 8 hours at the pool with two little girls requires a lot of gear. We packed a picnic lunch, extra towels and plenty of reading material for when Sophie was napping.
This girl LOVES the water. She pretty much throws herself into the water and cries when you make her get out. She quickly figured out how to balance in her swim ring and she is swimming all over the pool, deep end included.
Sophie did crash for a few hours in the middle of the day and Ella decided to hang out inside with Poppy and watch a few cartoons, so I did have a little time with my magazines and a float. I don’t get that very often, so it was really nice to have an hour and half of silence!
Not only is spending the day at the pool awesome by itself, its even more fun when your best buddy comes to swim. K was having mini-sessions and we were lucky enough that Grey’s mommy brought he his brother out for a family photo shoot. We managed to coerce them into bringing swimsuits and got to spend the afternoon with them. These two were swimming so hard that we only managed to capture a few pictures of them.
These two, however, were much easier to catch. They did spend a lot of time in the water, but they played on the steps and climbed in and out of the pool all afternoon. They are so sweet together and we managed to see a few hugs and kisses between them.
I’m hoping you enjoyed seeing these “pool day” pictures, because there will be a lot more where these came from!
