Swimming Pool Days

Kate and her Mommy joined us for a day in the pool last week since we've been having such great weather! The pool is only half full currently and that makes it the perfect depth for the kiddos when they're floating in the lady bug. Phi thinks it's so cool that his feet touch bottom and he can walk around, Kate just enjoyed floating . We had it filled to the top but we're pretty sure a crazy raccoon we have pulled on the side and dumped part of it out. That sounds off the wall but he's been coming in our yard at night and playing with Phi's toys if we leave them out. He chews millions of little teeth holes in every thing like he's teething or something. When we shined a flash light on him the other night he looked full grown and was having a blast tossing a foam sandal of Phi's in the air and they chewing on it.. like a cat would play with a mouse. So strange! We haven't seen him much since then.. maybe he was embarrassed at having been caught. Anyway afew pic.s of the day.
"Huh! I don't know about this stuff mom."

Hee! check this out, more water!

"Each unto their own."


"Hey Grandma look what I can do!"

"Peekaboo!"


"Ha! they say these are unbreakable!"

Stylin'

Sharing a cheerio snack, they were feeding each other cheerios too, but of course I didn't catch that .


"Come back again soon!"

It's Pool Time

We finally scrubbed out our pool that has been full of scum since last year and filled it up. Phi was not sure at first, we tried going in with a life jacket but it kept dumping him on his face. Last year I got this toy for him to float in at 6 months of age, we stuck him in it and it works great. The pool will fill to 36" but it's only half full now. He is able to stand and buzzes around like a little water bug in his ladybug floater. It gives him freedom of movement and will still hold him up when he wants to float. Some times he'll run forward and then lift his legs and float across the rest the way. It's so fun to see him enjoy the water.

Scooping out the bugs (like Mom does)

Leroy went in too the other day for his first time in a pool.

Ride with big brother in his toy.

"Wow he's heavy!"

It looks thin but it is amazing how well it floats and holds him up.
