The Pool Is Open!

We are so happy that the pool is open, and lucky that the pool is heated! The weather these last two days and temperature of the pool water has been perfect! This year we are going to make it a goal to hit the pool every day. (Although I've already discovered that this is going to definitely increase our laundry load!)


I absolutely love this pool. It is in the perfect location, only a couple of blocks from home, and has a baby pool so the kids can go back and forth between the two pools.

I have been so concerned that Grace wouldn't be walking by the time the pool opened and was going to tear up her knees and the tops of her feet from crawling...but she started walking JUST IN TIME!

After these first two days though, Alex did wear the skin off of the bottom of his toes and on his finger tips from the hard concrete :( He is very concerned about his wounds...hopefully he will have a speedy recovery.

Alex was also very adamant about NOT wearing his swim trunks (I'm guessing because the only one we had left didn't have any orange in it). So, yesterday we went to Gap Kids and let Alex pick out a rash guard and swimsuit and guess what...they both have orange in them! Shocking! Apparently, now things have to be orange and blue. So, we'll see how our next trip to the pool goes.

Also, it looks like it's time for another haircut already!

Sigh. Does it get any better than this? The only thing that would make it better would be if daddy could come with us every day! I am a very happy mom!
