THE POOL!

FINALLY!! The forecast for last Monday was to be 79 degrees & mid-70s by the middle of the week, a little cool for my liking but I’ve got to take what I can get this summer. So Monday by lunch I made the decision that it was going to be a pool day. (I didn’t want to take my chances & wait for the 80s they were predicting at the end of the week, because they been great at over-predicting the high temps this summer.)

I surprised the boys by picking them up early at daycare, with swim trunks in tow. They loved the surprise: first, that mom was the one to pick them up followed by the fun trip planned to the pool.

It just happened that my mom was watching my two nephews that same day so they met us down there too.

Wyatt’s always been my little fish. Colton likes the water but takes a bit to warm up to the whole idea. This time any hesitation Colton used to have when first getting to the water was totally thrown out – he ran in without even batting an eye. It may have helped that I brought some “water” footballs along and he’s been football crazy since we went camping last weekend. Either way, both of my boys were in & splashing around as soon as we were covered in sunblock.

Looking into this week they are predicting mid-upper 80s, which we haven’t seen since early July, so there may be more water time & soaking up the last of the summer heat in our future this week!
