A pool. That's right people, we bought a pool. Those little tiny pools worried me because the kids could get into and out of them whenever they wanted without me knowing = scary. We opted for a big pool so that we would always know when the kids were getting into it. The ladder is completely removable so that they can't just get in when they want. It is also nearly impossible for mom to take five kids swimming by herself and even when dad is around to help it is difficult. Some are more timid and want to stay in the shallow areas and others want to dive into the deep end for fun. So, a pool we bought so we could all have fun and keep an eye on our little munchkins. We all LOVE it. Mommy and Daddy like to sneak into the pool for stolen little mini-date nights. It is such fun, we highly recommend buying one.
While we filled the pool up Jordan slept. Looks super comfortable doesn't it?
Drew rode around for most of the summer in this lovely floaty. We finally conquered his fear and put his face under the water - 10 days before the pool had to come down. Drew's never been one to try something before he knows that he can do it. This was no different. He was very proud of himself for putting his face under the water for 10 seconds!
The girls on the other hand have no fear of trying new things - no matter how terrifying it is to their mother. By the end of the summer both girls had taught themselves to swim and they were doing front and backflips under water. I think their mother prefers how Drew does things, but I love to see them all happy so I hold my breath and hope for the best.
This is what happens when you get a pool - the kids get completely exhausted, Jocelyn specifically. Worth every dollar the pool costed!
