She was quite happy to play in the little pools with the kids...Emma would much rather play in the little pool so that made Elsie happy! They had lots of cups, spoons and buckets to keep them busy!
Sitting on the edge of the little pool...they were throwing a handful of pennies in the little pool than go "diving" for pennies! I am sure they were imagining that little pool was really the deep ocean...you never know with the crazy imaginations they have!
Colter on the other hand is just plain crazy! When is in the pool his goggles and flippers are practically glued to him! For some crazy reason he decided to wear his little sisters life jacket and jump in...just to be sure he didn't drowned in the 3 1/2' water! I am sure he was also imagining he was jumping in the deep ocean...with 30' killer waves and maybe a few sharks swimming around! 
This is Colter's other favorite thing to do...float around in the little pool placed in the big pool...I love that he is still wearing not only the goggles...but a snorkle as well! 
Elsie was very good today about playing on the deck in the little pool...but finally she did get in the big pool...She floated around in her little floaty...and loved every minute of it!
Since the big aunties are away at Ana's for the week...and I am too much of a baby to swim in cold water...Uncle Colter brought Elsie around in the pool...He assured us that if she started to drowned he would rescue her! What a guy!
Elsie loved to relax in the floaty...she would tip her head back till it would just touch the water...and she would giggle like it was a joke!
Elsie had lots of fun floating around...and uncle Colter never had to make any dramatic rescue attempts! She did have a fit when everyone decided to go inside...I think she is quite a water bug...
All was better when she found out that she could join the kids for their "hot water bath" to warm up after swimming...they kids always have to take a hot bath after swimming...no matter how hot it is outside. I remember doing the same thing when I was little...
As Elsie went to sleep tonight she was talking about going swimming in the "big pool" tomorrow morning! Oh dear...what have we started?

our pool, i think, has been the very best investment - all the years of joy our family has gotten out of it is amazing...and now a new generation of kids will be loving it, too.
all of my kids are water bugs (as were all you older ones, too) - it's nice that *my* kids are finally getting old enough that i don't have to watch them like a hawk - i can relax a bit for the first time in the fifteen or so years we've had the pool! now all you new mama's have the 'joy' of constantly counting heads and running after the little ones when we're out at the pool...ha!
