A Day at the Pool

So the girls and I went to the pool on Monday with a family friend and her three girls. We met this family at our church in Denver and the girls all go to school together! It was the first time this summer that we have spent some time at the pool, aside from the swimming lessons that the older two girls are taking. They were super excited. When we got there, the main area for the little kids was experiencing mechanical problems, so it was closed. We made the best of the time though and spent some of it in an area that was somewhat shallow. The older two girls had no problem at all, but Olivia was a little more challenging to deal with in this area.
Here is Olivia just before leaving the pool for the day. She is holding onto a diving stick and "cheesing" the camera. She is sitting on her "Dora" towel. She did pretty well considering I had to be pretty close all the time. Hopefully the next time we decide to go, the other pool area is working again. We did spend some time in the "lazy river" area. They have tubes that the little kids can sit in and then we walked behind the tube - not so lazy for the moms that way, but at least it kept them having fun. Here is another picture right before we left for the afternoon. This is Reeve, she is the youngest of the three girls that we went to the pool with. It is always fun when we get together with this family. We all seem to get along so well and it is great that our girls are so close in age. Their oldest daughter is a year older than Madison, their middle daughter is a year older than Laci, and Reeve is two years older than Olivia. They all play together so well and always are asking when they will get to see them again. I am sure another day at the pool with them will be soon to come!
