At the Pool

The munchkins and I ventured out to the nearby pool a week or so ago and boy did they love it!

 They enjoyed going under water and splashing around.

The pool had a really big water slide.  At one point, I asked Sissy if she'd like to go down the slide.  After thinking about it for a little while, she said she'd try it.  I was actually a little surprised that she was willing to go down all by herself, but she did!

Here's Buddy giving her a few pointers, even though he never took a trip down himself.  I think he was telling her to lay down on her back as she slid down.

about half way there.

All the way at the top

 Buddy waited patiently at the bottom of the slide for her to come down.

There she is... goggles on, check, nose plugged, check!

Making a splash

It was a success, complete with a smile!  I was so proud of her.  

(That slide looked pretty intimidating to me.) 

As soon as she was done, she hopped out of the pool, and went right back up the stairs to slide back down again.  She did that about 20 or so more times before we headed home. 

 Buddy came home completely exhausted!  This is where we found him, in this exact position, about an hour after we arrived home.
We had a great time at the pool! I'm sure we'll be heading back there a few more times before the summer ends.
