Pool Time!

My favorite part of summer may just be visiting the pool. As a kid, I used to LOVE the pool and even the pond (if no pool was available). In my old age, the pond is far less appealing, but the pool still ranks pretty high on my list. On Saturday, Lexi visited the Wedgewood HOA Pool for the first time this year. She - like her mother - loves the water. Brittany and Kaitlyn came to visit for the day (with Brittany's friend Amie). After visiting the Akron Zoo in the morning and taking naps, we took the older girls to the pool. Mommy couldn't swim this time because someone had to watch baby Jill in the stroller. Brittany and Amie took Lexi and Kaity in the water and they both had a blast! The air temperature was a little cooler than desired, but the heated pool was just right. We had a great day with Brittany, Amie and Kaity.
Then, my friend from High School - Kim (Mabis) Troth - came out on Sunday with her 2 kids Rylee and Graiden for an overnight visit. We once again had to visit the pool! This time mommy got to get wet because daddy stayed home with Jill. Kim and her kids stayed until Monday and then had to head back home. We really enjoyed our visit and hopefully there will be more visits in the future (maybe when Adam can join her??).
To round out our early week, I filled Lexi's mini-pool with water and she took a dip on Tuesday while daddy was at work. She spent nearly an hour playing with her Mickey Mouse toys while Jill and I sat on the patio and soaked up the sun (well, it was overcast but still warm). I think it was a great start to the pool season and hopefully there will be many more trips to the pool this year. Can't wait until next year when BOTH girls can get in the water and enjoy it! Check back later today for the pictures.
