Summer Fun at the Pool

So, I decided that since summer is clearly over I should probably post some of the fun things we did over the summer. We spent part of almost every day at the pool, even if only for an hour. It is so nice having a pool that we can head to whenever we want. Plus, we figured out the schedule when it wasn't too busy and made sure to get over there during that time. We also had a fun time at the pool with Sarah and Brody. They were at the pool with us just about every time we went.Ellee was a little hesitant at the beginning of the summer to get in the pool, after her incident at Dimple Dell last winter. It only took her a couple weeks to be comfortable floating around in the pool again. She started with her water wings, but then fell in love with her pink tube and just climbed right in and floated around the pool.
Luke was completely different this summer from last summer. He started out in his green tube. He loves jumping right into the water and floating around. He also discovered that he can reach in the three foot area and was so proud of the fact that he didn't have to stay in the "baby" section of the pool. Luke is quite the swimmer underwater. He loves swimming under the water and would even swim to the side after doing cannon balls into the deeper water.
Cole is our little fish. He LOVES the water. He is fun to watch, doing somersaults under water, handstands, playing tag, etc. He can go anywhere in the pool because he's really gotten pretty good at swimming. We didn't sign him up for lessons this year but he is still picking it up pretty well. Damon has been working with him on using big arms and swimming on top of the water instead of just underneath and floating on his back.
