Swimming, Swimming, In The Swimming Pool...

When days are hot and days are cold in the swimming pool! 
Breast stroke, side stroke, fancy diving too! 
Don't you wish you didn't have anything else to do?! 
But...(then start song over). 

That is a little camp song we sing to Claire and Henry when they are taking tubbies (aka baths). Pretty silly. Our neighborhood has two pools that are part of a country club to go to when it's hot. The unfortunate part is paying the fees that are associated with being a member. So how do we solve not paying the fees...befriend our neighbors who are members! Just kidding. We have made good friends with our neighbors who have kids the same age as our two. They happen to be members of the club and have invited us to come along a couple of times. It is very nice of them. This morning before it was too hot we went to the pool and the kids had a lot of fun. Henry splashed the water and Claire couldn't get enough of jumping in from the side. We might consider joining this small pool next year for the summer since it is perfect for little kids. The water is only 1.5-4ft deep. Also I might have more confidence to bring two little kids to the pool by myself. There is NO way I could do it this year. Our baby pool works just wonderfully! Thankfully the water did not feel like bath water and was quite refreshing.


Big jump!
