Summer Pool Play


What would a hot summer day be without a nice cool dip in the pool.

With temps averaging in the mid to upper 90s during Richmond's summer months, our neighborhood pool is where you will find us most weekends (and many weeknights). Patty and Amanda are turning into little fish. Patty can swim about half the length of the pool before struggling (see video). She's no Summer Sanders yet, but I have no doubt she'll get there eventually. And today she jumped off the diving board and swam to the ladder with no help for the first time. A major accomplishment! We plan to sign her up for winter swim lessons to get her ready for next year's swim season.

Amanda jumped off the diving board for the first time today as well (I caught her of course). As usual, she was not afraid and wanted to go again and again. The kid has no fear. She'll jump to you whether you're waiting for her or not.



Here are a few more pictures of the girls enjoying the day at the pool:
