Happy Memorial Day - Pool Opens

We joined our neighborhood pool finally this year. We all headed out yesterday to just enjoy each other. It was alot of fun but of course busy with three kids and large bodies of water!!! They had a great 3ft area for Ainsley. A little cantelope snack Ainsley immediatly saw a friend from her gymnastics class and played with several others from our church and then met some new friends! I think she is going to LOVE it! We need some refresher swim lessons and I think she will be good to go. She is pretty conservative in the water but can be in several of the areas on her own which makes it nice for both of us!!! The boys did not take to it quite like I had envisioned (that's their job I guess - to throw me off!!!) It was very cold so I think that took some getting used to but I have never been held so tight in all of their little lives as they did in the water. Findley's legs were wrapped around me so tight!!!! I had gotten life jackets from a friend hoping they could paddle around a little bit and be safe at the same time but they didn't really go for those? Hopefully just take some getting used to? I was very confident thinking I could do it on my own but my plan may need some re-thinking? We shall see.....the story of my life!!! Ryan left early with the boys - they were getting hungry and tired. Ainsley and I stayed for another hour or two and then walked home. It was perfect!
