OUR OOL

Have you ever seen the sign that reads as follows:

WELCOME TO OUR OOL

Notice there is no "P" in our pool.
Let's keep it that way!

On that note, I am pleased to announce that the McDonald Family is now the proud owner of a gargantuan above-ground, soft-sided pool. It measures a whopping 8 ft. in diameter and 2.5 ft. in depth. Caleb absolutely loves it, and Mama and Daddy can sit down in it without the water coming above our shoulders. Yesterday evening we took Anna swimming for the first time. She was decked out in a swim diaper and UV blocking sun hat. We had a "floatie" of sorts complete with sun shade ready and waiting.

Then we put her in the pool.......
and Ahhhhhh. It was as though the water environment was so much more comforting and natural to her than anywhere else. (go figure) She kicked back, sucked on her fist, and grinned to herself for quite a while. Then before she got all pruny, she zonked out on her "cabana-mat" in the grass while Caleb enjoyed some splash time (which was outlawed with Anna in the pool).

So much fun! Here are some pictures...
