Pool Party

on a day like this, you need a pool! Lydia had two of her little friends over this afternoon and we went to the neighbour's pool. It's an above-ground, not HUGE, not for swimming laps, but it's very, very refreshing to sink into. It's about chest height for an adult, so it's perfect. The girls all grabbed noodles and they splashed and jumped and played. Lydia was showing off her new-found bravery - she jumped farthest and swam under water and dove in unexpectedly, gosh, I'm very proud of her, honest, that she is getting so comfortable in the water, but my heart just jumps every time she is under the water just a bit longer... The other two girls were more cautious, but they certainly all had a good time... hopefully, they got tired enough to sleep well!
