First Swim of the Season

A couple of weeks ago, Connor decided he was ready to have his first swim in our pool for the season. We thought we'd let Kaitlynn give the pool a try, too, so we suited them both up and headed outside.

Jeff and I were shocked at what a little daredevil Kaitlynn was in the water. She had no concept of how deep or dangerous the water is for her. She would just walk off the ledge or slip into the water without any fear or concern at all. (Ms. Glendy, our survival swim instructor, is gonna have her way with Kaitlynn in a few weeks!)

Kaitlynn has this precious little bathing suit that I've been excited for her to wear since I bought it a year ago, but it kept slipping down and we had to keep telling her to put her goodies back in the jar. Ha!

The kids both wore themselves out with the first swim and took a snack break on the lounge chairs.

Mommy and Kaitlynn had matching red suits. :-)

On another day, Connor and Kaitlynn joined the Aasmyr kids for a fun time in the splash fountains at Discovery Green park downtown. I have to say, splash parks are my absolute favorite summer activity for the kids because they aren't as much work trying to keep K from drowning, plus Mommy usually doesn't have to put on a swimsuit, ha! Here's a couple pics from the splash park followed by a video of Kaitlynn running crazy into the water fountains. No fear, I tell ya!
