Good year for swimming

It has been HOT HOT HOT!  For weeks!

Our pool is in the upper 80's and occasionally hits 90 degrees!  That is almost too warm but we still find it quite refreshing to jump in.


Most of the swimming has been pleasant for me as the Resident Lifeguard.  The older 4 swim very well.  The little girls (except for Sarah) were in floatie swimsuits that kept them above water.  Sarah has gone in occasionally, in our arms, but is usually content to sit in a seat under the beach umbrella.

A couple of weeks ago, Miriam decided she was ready for, as she put it, a "sinking swimsuit". :-).  So now we have to be more observant as she does not have a floatie swimsuit, and she does not swim. But she is making progress!  She is, of her own volition, going under water repeatedly to practice.

We are thankful for our pool.  It is fun!
