The water in the pool was pretty dang cold. But the girls had fun anyway. They started swimming lessons a couple of weeks ago and Rachel has made good progress in just two weeks. I'm hoping that by the time summer comes around they'll both be good enough and comfortable enough to be in the pool without hanging on to me all the time.
Here's Rachel swimming:
Luckily there was also a hot tub so when the shivering started we went over there to warm up. And play.
We recently got a new camera, which just happens to be waterproof. It was fun to play around with a little. But it is amazingly difficult to have a regular face when taking an underwater picture.
I was done with the pool, but I was sure that Ryan was still asleep, so I told the girls we should dry off a little before we headed back inside.
When we finally did go back inside, we woke Ryan up, but Jacob managed to get him back to sleep, then after a while we were ready to go back to the pool, but Ryan was still asleep and it was way past time for him to wake up.
I tried waking him up by talking to him, opening the curtains, taking his blanky, but he was out cold. Eventually we were able to wake him up and he was so happy to go swimming. He's our water baby.
Ryan is pretty smart, however, and much preferred the hot tub to the ice cold pool. So did I. Even if all I could do was hang my feet in there and take a dip every few minutes when I got too cold sitting on the side (there are some drawbacks to being pregnant).
