We got a hot tip from our friend that the Harvey West Pool has open swim on Sundays from noon-3pm, so we took the kids to the Harvey West pool for the first time (they take lessons elsewhere!).
Dylan has actually been to this pool lots–all of the summer camp swim days are here–so he’s pretty familiar with the little pool. Chloe and Cameron were experiencing it for the first time, though! Such joy. Such fun!E Even Cameron liked it so much, both kids went again today, with K. and T., Assaf and Tom.
Anyway, here are pictures from last week….
Oh, I should mention that Cameron originally didn’t want to go, but Dylan persuaded her when he mentioned that there was a mermaid sprinkler (and, there it is behind Chloe!)!
Hooray for big brothers who can sway little sisters to join in the fun! The water is apparently super cold (what would I know since I didn’t suit up and just sought out dry patches of sidewalk from which to take some pics!), but it was a super hot day and kids don’t mind that much anyway!
Ooops, again, the order of pics is backwards, so this was just after applying the sunscreen and before entering the water area.
I’d never seen this bathing suit for Chloe before, but I’m glad we had one in her size…!
Tom was a good sport and did swimsuit duty for us…! This little pool is great for the kids right now since the deepest part is only 3 feet deep. Both kids can touch the bottom with their feet and, I think this really helped Cameron gain more confidence and have more fun in the pool! She even practiced swimming class stuff on her own initiative! It was great!
Chloe, of course, needed a nursing break (and then since I was just dressed in jeans, it looked like I wet my pants!) and, afterwards, she popped back up and had another n’th wind. I took her to the playground when she didn’t seem that interested in the pool anymore.
Once open swim was over, we went home, ate, showered the kids and slept well…!
