Summer Pool Time

 We know it's truly summer when our pool opens.  About 32 families form our pool co-operative so most of the time when we go we are by ourselves or maybe with one other family.  It's the best part of summer getting out of the 105+ degree weather and into a cool pool.  When we finally got the giant popsicle Hollister pool float in the mail I don't know who was more excited Quinton or Zaynzley.  As soon as it was aired up Quinton claimed it of course.

Flipping an unexpected floater into the pool has to be one of the top 5 five fun pool things to do.  But Quinton might disagree.  Of course Quinton was quick to retaliate!  This summer Zaynzley joined the swimmers without any floaties.  She has gotten to be quite a good swimmer.  She loves going down the slide too.  All the boys did swim team this summer so there were also many races held in our pool.

I like to read magazines in my pool chair which usually get thrown away when I am done reading them because they inevitably get drenched.  Sometimes on purpose by punky kids.  One of these days I'm going to go to the pool by myself and read a paperback in my pool chair.

Beware Quinton!

Ha--Quinton got flipped.

Cool Kids!

Even though school is back in session we will keep going to the pool for a few more weeks.  It's still plenty hot and I have a goal to meet--read a book in the pool.
