Labor Day at the Pool

Since Labor Day is the last day for our neighborhood pool to be open, we decided to spend the day there. Luckily it was hotter than it has been so the cool water actually felt good! The weather has been so strange here the last several weeks--it has been so mild and nice out! It has been a great way to end the summer!

Our kids really came a LONG way with their swimming this summer. Cooper is completely swimming on his own--I still keep an eye on him, but for the most part I don't have to worry about him while we are at the pool. About a month ago Emily started jumping off the diving board and swimming to the latter all by herself too! I am so proud of both of them and the progress that they have made. In order to keep their skills up, we are planning to take several weekend trip this fall and winter. We are going to stay at hotels with indoor pools so we can practice swimming all year long! Maybe by next summer they will both be ready to be on the swim team!

Here are a few pictures from Labor Day at the pool....






Cooper thinks this is a cool picture of him under water...

this was the warmest spot on Monday, all the kids has the best time playing in the big puddle...


this swimsuit is Emily's favorite (and mine too). For some reason her little "cheeks" end up hanging-out of the back of it--SO CUTE!!!
