Red Fish .... Blue Fish ...

When you have a pool in your back yard and the weather starts to get warm ... the question you get every day is ..."Can we go swimming???" ... You might think I'm nuts but there are only so many ways you can say "No ... it's still to cold" ... sometimes the only way to explain is to let them learn first hand!!!


Everyone is getting ready for the first swim!

This is as far as Max got ... once his toe hit the water he turned around ... went back into the house and got dressed!!! Hasn't asked to go back in yet =)

Roman's first jump of the "season"!!!

The face says COLD but he said NOPE and kept swimming!!!

He swam for 10 minutes before getting out!!! He's crazy but he will be the "fish" in our group!!!

Notice the wet suit ... SMART MAN!!!!

Okay ... just in case you think we've lost our minds as parents ... the water was about 68-70 degrees when they went in ... we had towels and sweatshirts waiting on the deck!!! Has it detered Roman ... NO ... he was back in this weekend ... the child is NUTS ... he loves to swim and when he goes in he stays in for a good 10 - 15minutes!!! He's going to be a blast this summer when it's actually warm enough for the adults!!! Max ... now Max is a different story ... he has yet to ask to go back in ... he does NOT like cold water and he won't want to go in until he knows for sure the water is WARM!!!

Yep, looks like our kiddos are fishies out of water! K loves the water, too, but likes it a tad warmer. She'd probably be keeping Max company... :)
