Swim Season

We're so lucky we have a pool. I'm am worried about safety so we have a fence around the pool, but I'm trying to enjoy it more than worry about it. As the kids get older, that's a little easier.

Frequently when we swim, we need our sunglasses. Wearing them upside-down is optional.

We have a shelf in the pool that's a great place for the kids to play. Connor started a game where he acts like one of the jets is pulling him backwards and he yells, "help, help, the robot!" Then Chloe will grab his hand and pull him back. It's just silly play, but when Chloe is the one asking for help to be saved from the robot, she sounds so sincere, I look closely to make sure there's no robot in the pool.

And when we want a break from swimming there's always the sandbox. Endless summer fun in our own backyard!
