Pool Time

My people set up the backyard pool last week, in all of it's whale shaped glory. The girl has a blast playing in it and I enjoy drinking out of it (since my people haven't replaced my outside drinking water bucket).

The pool is shaped like a whale. With a huge tail. Not obnoxious at all.

Cheese! Like how you can only see Henry's chins peeking out from under his hat?

Henry was not a fan of the pool. He didn't mind getting his toes wet, but once his trunks made it into the water he started crying. I don't blame him. Hose water is cold!

Lily started swim class this week at the local pool. She seems to like it, but only lasts about 20 of the 30 minutes before yelling "Mommy, I'm cold! Daddy, I'm cold!" She's completed 4 of the 8 classes and got a progress report (really, a progress report for a summer swim class?). Anyway, there are 3 more things she needs to work on in order to "pass". Two of them involve her putting her face in the water. Maybe my people will set up the whale monstrosity again this weekend so she can practice. I hope so. I get thirsty outside.
