Pool-Time-Fun

One of the things we look forward to every summer is the pool opening at Mike's place of employment. One of the great perks where Mike works in the family recreation area they offer their employees. (A gym, pool, ball fields, and playground)

Anne Marie LOVES the water and even though she is not old enough for swim lessons at our pool this year, we've decided to start helping her try a few new things this year - like blowing bubbles w/ her face in the water, jumping off the edge, and dog-paddle with floaties. And Kristi - if you're reading this - her inspiration was that she saw Kylie jumping in your pool - she asked to watch it over & over!!

She's now (w/ the help of floaties) swimming on her own, she even goes under water some!! She jumps off the edge & wants you to not catch her - she wants to try to swim after she jumps - and she even asked to jump off the board the other day -- but they don't let you do that @ our pool if you have to use floaties to swim. (Thank goodness, because I'm not ready for that!!)
