Hello, Summer!

We made our 2009 inaugural trip to the pool yesterday. It was absolutely the perfect day for it! It was a beautiful day, 70 degrees when we got there, well above 80 when we left, and not a cloud in the sky. Carter and I were the first swimmers at the pool, so for a good hour we had the baby pool all to ourselves. {Nick joined us after a round of golf.}

I was worried that Carter was going to be a little hesitant about the water since it has been since February swim lessons that he was in the pool, but he proved fearless. When we got to the baby pool, he promptly threw all of the toys from the basket into the pool, and then climbed right in after them. He had a great time playing in the water, climbing in and out of the pool, and jumping in!

Carter was looking pretty stylish in his new vineyard vines swimsuit that Steve and Emily gave him for Christmas. We had to wait through the chilly winter to break it out!

He loved splashing in the water. He would use one of the dive sticks to splash, and then say "splashes, splashes!"

A little before lunchtime, more friends started to arrive, so we were able to play in the pool and enjoy the sunshine with them as well. We are certainly looking forward to many more fun summer days at the pool!

Oh, I miss having a pool to hang out in all day. Especially now that I have an excuse to look the way I look in a bathing suit! :)
And all of the sun really would tucker Julianna out, we always had a good nap afterwards!!
