Pool Time

While this seemed like the winter that would never end, we have now skipped spring entirely and went straight to summer. So on a hot day in early May, we busted out the big pool and went swimming in the backyard. Eliana was begging to do this for days before I finally gave in and inflated the pool.  May seems a bit early, but you can't argue with 80 degree days.  While the day was warm, the water was freezing!  I warned the kids that the hose water would be cold, but they didn't mind to much.  At least the older two.  Laney did not enjoy the freezing cold water, and asked to go inside instead.  When the pool was full, Will and Ana would jump in and out, over and over again. I think the water was colder than they wanted to admit. But it still was great fun.  I think we will be having lots of time by the pool this summer.

Laney spent her morning playing in the sandbox, trying to eat the sand.

We started with the sprinkler

Laney got to wear Will's old swimsuit because her one from last summer did not fit. However, she only lasted in the water for about a second before she was crying to go in. It was just too cold!

Now Laney is napping, and the big kids are having a pool party!
