Poooooooooolllllllll!!

Oh my goodness he was SO excited watching Tom get it ready and start filling it up…

I love the feet here.

And the face here.

Tentative first step…

Hey, this is fun!

Posing for mom’s request.

More splashing around.

“Can I take my shorts off?”

“I have to go potty!”

I tried to get a cute shot of his face with his butt blurry in the background…but for as scary smart as he is sometimes, he could NOT grasp that I wanted him to move his legs around. 🙂

Tom working on the walkway.

She LOVED the water and wanted to GO GO GO!

When she first got in, it was pretty shallow so she could kinda crawl/float around…and boy did she scoot quickly!

But since it was filling as we were in it, it obviously kept getting deeper…

…and she started taking on water!

And of course big brother was RIGHT there the whole time. He wanted to play with her SO badly!! And we taught him that if he sees Katie go under, the first thing he has to do is pull her up then scream for us if we’re not right there. 🙂

I sense a very wet summer for me…

On a sidenote, we’re trying a saltwater system this year. It’s supposed to be a lot easier since there’s no chemicals—just salt—and it’s less harsh on your skin and hair. We had to get a new filter system, but we’re still ahead of the game cost-wise compared to the neighborhood summer pool cost (heck, I think we might be ahead of the cost from last year still—not even including this year)!
