We have been to our new neighborhood pool more in the past week than we visited our other pool in the last 3 years. The kids absolutely love it!! We spent Saturday there with our friends and splashed and swam and slid down the slide too many times to count. I rode with each of them several times. It is so cute to see how excited they were about sliding. They had no fear what so ever. Marlee has asked to go everyday. We went yesterday afternoon and let Marlee go down the water slide by herself. Chad was there to catch her. She smiled and laughed the whole time. The only problem is now Cooper wants to slide by himself, too. I'm sure by the end of summer he'll be going alone.

With the beach entry, the kids can go in to their comfort level. Cooper forgets his size and tries to keep up with everyone else. It will be interesting to see how I handle taking both of them by myself. Chad has Marlee's full trust and has her running and jumping in the water. She's putting her whole face in the water and retrieving things under water in the shallow end. Cooper on the other hand is fearless. He'll jump off the side, blow bubbles, and dunk himself under water. I have got to call and get them in some swim lessons. Enjoy the pictures from tonight. We had the whole pool to ourselves.
