Poolside

The past several Sundays we've headed to the pool for morning swim time. Typically we are in church, but since sweet Caroline didn't have her vaccinations until a couple of weeks ago we've stayed home. Catherine Ellis had too much energy to burn so we decided we needed to get out and about and the only thing that sounded remotely fun outside was the pool! And it's been a big hit! We're members of the JCC (Jewish Community Center) that is about 2 miles from our house and has the best swimming pool in town - it's HUGE - Olympic sized, separate diving area and a baby pool.

The first time we ventured to the pool we had no floaties and spent a lot of time in the baby pool. Both sets of grandparents bought Catherine Ellis floaties and this toddler has been a fish in the water since! She loves the pool! We are so glad she does because it's a nice break from the house for Caroline and I and good outside time with her Daddy. So here are some pictures from our last couple of trips to the pool:

Mom, let's get in the water .... that serious face ....

Showing off her new floaties .... girlfriend can swim in these!

Baby sister chilling in the shade - it was a little bright that day :)

Swimming on her own

Taking a break with Daddy

What goes up (way up!!) .....

...Must come down!

And back up again!

Sweet sister still snoozing away ....

And we even take books to read at the pool ...

We've had such a good time spending our summer mornings at the pool - we can't wait until Caroline can join us - we hope she loves water as much as the rest of us do! Hope everyone has a great weekend!
