Little Swimmers

Today Ran and I took the girls to Mrs. Janice's house to swim in a "real" pool for a few hours. They really didn't understand what they were in for until they got there and saw all that water. We couldn't get shoes off and floaties on fast enough. It was the first time since last summer that they were in a pool in which they could not touch bottom. In the first 15 mins they had both jumped off the side 10 times, swallowed half the pool and smiled so much I thought their faces would break. I was really surprised by the fact that they didn't seem scared, esp. Abigail. The little dare devil was so amazing. By the time we left she had taught herself how to float on her back. Sorta kinda maybe attempt to kick her arms and legs to swim. Go under water and JUMPED OFF THE DIVING BOARD!!!!!(daddy only let her do it 3 times, I think he was more scared that she was :) ) Emma Catherine was content to ski on mommy's legs, float on the purple noodle and ever so gently jump off the side. She spent a lot of time scooping water out of the pool with a plastic shovel she found. Ran said he didn't know who was more exhausted us or them. It definitely wasn't a lazy day by the pool! But was a GREAT day! Just another set of memories to be filed away in my heart in a drawer marked "The Best Days of My Life"!
