Swimming

Yesterday, we spent the day at Aunt Missy's parent's house. The Akers (or DaBakers as Gilly says) have a pool and we were lucky to be invited over to BBQ and swim. The kids didn't waste any time and were in the pool within minutes of our arrival (which means mommy was too). Gillian insisted that we put every raft and noodle possible in the pool. We had more rafts than people!

John splashed Gillian in the face. Gillian was not happy and she got out of the pool and sat on a lounge chair. She pouted for a little bit and then said to me "My face is not wet. Can I go back in?" It's hard to argue with that. She came back in the pool and swam a little more. She took another break later to have a snack. I laid out a towel for her and she had a little picnic. 

At some point she asked Mrs. Aker, "Where's Aunt Missy's room?" Mrs. Aker showed Gillian and all that did was spark more questions. "Why are the walls blue and green?" "Why she no live here anymore?" "Why does she have so much junk?" And then somehow Gillian ended up with a new pink teddy bear! She told me "I like him!"

Meanwhile, John was happily swimming all over the pool. He didn't get out until he was hungry. He ate a hot dog and some tater tots and went back into the pool. They were content to have the whole pool to themselves. 

We had a great time! Here are a few pictures of the kids enjoying the pool!
