Zonked Out

This year we got a pool pass to PG Pool. It has been so nice to be able to let B and Z go down whenever they want to with friends and they can swim to their hearts content. (They usually ride scooters down, but call me to pick them up since they are 'so tired' after swimming and it's all uphill to our house.) I like to go as much as possible too, but with Hannah still needing naps, it's a little more tricky.

Rachel has done well even without swim lessons, and now jumps off the diving board and swims to the side. Jace is our little fish, and loves to do a 'dead man's float' with his face in the water, to see how long he can hold his breath. This has only made one lifeguard jump in after him, thinking that he was drowning...but both Nate and I were close by, and knew what Jace was doing...but it sure scared the lifeguard half to death. Even though he was embarrassed, Nate still thanked him for doing his job. You can never be too safe.

Speaking of Nate...we sure have enjoyed the times when he has joined us at the pool. It's been nice to go there after he gets off work, or when we've all been working hard in the yard all day, and to enjoy the time together as a family.

I don't ever take the camera to pool, but I couldn't resist these pictures of the younger two, after a fun filled day at the pool.
