Pool Time

We bought a ring pool to entertain, wear out & keep us cool!  It has been an absolute blast for the kids, and some of the bigger kids.  Having this pool has been especially great this summer because there is no way I was toting my brood of boys to the community pool on my own during these oh-so-hot summer days.  Initially, William clung to the side of the pool like a scared cat hating every drop of water that landed on him, but it wasn't long before he was in the middle of the excitement.  He now walks around the pool splashing his hands in front of him, "swimming", but not to be confused with "walking", sans the splashing.  Pretty cute, that boy...

 The sun had not heated the pool yet, burrrr!

 Then this guy showed up, and made things even more exciting....

 Meanwhile, William decided to take a break and observe

This is William's preferable water activity.  He spent many hours in the ocean floating and relaxing like this, almost to the point of sleep.
