We've been "enjoying" the heat of Texas and are still amazed that the kids' lips turn blue after a few hours in the swimming pool. But they've loved every second...until the water restriction goes into effect on August 1st. Ah well. I guess that's alright since the dog thought the inflatable pool was his personal chew toy too.
Guess too much fun was happening. We'll just have to enjoy summer another way.
Joe was definitely okay with the pool. He couldn't get enough water time. Gone were the fears of last summer when he couldn't float or swim. There was very little fear as he dove and splashed amongst his siblings.
Kelsey's friends gave her a bunch of pool toys. That inflatable alligator was a favorite with the kids. Everyone wanted a ride. It fit really well in the pool too.
Anyone up for a game of catch? There were two balls that were in constant motion. Every now and again we'd have to stop and refill with air; but that did little to hamper the fun.
Break time to thaw out! This didn't last too long, though. Everyone was more than willing to get back into the pool...even with shivering chins and blue lips. It was just too much fun to miss. We'll be moving on the the local splash pads once August hits. It'll be "illegal" to have inflatable pools and slip-n-slides. So goes life in a drought. Let's pray for rain!
