Cool in the Pool

Despite the above 90 degree temperatures lately, we hadn't had time to pull out the pool. Until last week that is. After walking around the Hill AFB Museum, the kids decided they needed to cool down quick. So we inflated the pool, set up the awning, and let them have a blast.

Do they look like they're having fun or what?


We couldn't resist pulling out the pool noodles, even though they were really intended for much bigger pools. The kids had a blast with them.


Since this was our first time with the pool, it meant the first time in the kids' new swimming suits. They were so cute, I couldn't help taking a few pictures of them. Here's Hailey in her princess suit.


And Zachary in his big boy swimming suit. He's getting old enough now that he has a hard time deciding if he wants a character suit or one like his Dad's that's just plain and like he puts it "like the big boys wear." He decided on the plain one this year, so we had to choose a fun shirt to wear with it, which makes him more than happy.


What a fun afternoon of watching them play in the pool. I'll admit that there were a few splashes and squirts from the water gun that kept us adults nice and cool as well.

Welcome summer, we're looking forward to many more hot and sunny days that require us to cool down with some water!
