I was on the fence about visiting the pool today, after a long doctor's appointment and lunch with Kevin. The kids wanted to go, though, and I really didn't have an alternative for a day that promised to be hot and humid.
don't you love the water drops on the lens?
I knew I made the right choice in letting the kids talk me into the pool when I spotted a package waiting for me as I dashed in the house to pick up our swimsuits and lunch.
he package? Birthday presents from Aunt Jen, who, at 38+ weeks pregnant, managed to sew up three awesome monster beach towels for Peter, Lucy and Thomas. These kids know just how lucky they are to receive so many handmade-with-love goodies from their aunt and her prodigious sewing machine.
They were received with enthusiasm, worn with pride, and did the job of keeping them dry and warm when not in the pool.
The pool itself was a much-needed break in our day. While we were there, Peter continued to teach himself to swim, Lucy happily dunked her head underwater, and Thomas found a place shallow enough where even he could touch.
