pool.fun--obx 1

After looking through the several hundred pictures of our trip, it didn't take me long to realize that I am going to be doing several posts! We obviously took tons of pictures and so many of them are really good! Rather than do posts by individual days, I think I'll go by topics instead.

Obviously today is about fun in the pool! I think that was the highlight of the trip for the kids! There was a kiddie pool that had a waterfall into the big pool. It was heated, so it was like swimming in bathwater! I didn't get a picture of it, but there was even a tiki bar by the pool with a little refrigerator in it!

You'd never know by watching R. that he used to be terrified of water! So far, the three years of swimming lessons have paid off! I do believe he's ready for the advanced class finally! He had so much fun diving with Eric, it was just a joy to watch him!

I. goofed off in his own little way. He's only had one year of swimming lessons and spent most of his time in the kiddie pool or floating in a ring in the big pool. He had a blast though!

G. loved every minute of being in the water (and at the beach...and eating....come to think of it, I don't know if there was anything she didn't enjoy! Except maybe bedtime!). There are several things now I can think of that I wish I would have gotten pictures of. She loved being in the big pool with us (she of course had floaties on her arms!). I shoulda got one of her 'swimming' with Eric--it was so cute!

Oh, and me? I never had swimming lessons as a kid and have never known how to swim. Until last week! THAT was fun!

I've been fairly 'wordy', but now I'm going to let it be Wordless Wednesday for the pictures! Enjoy!
