Freedom!

Freedom for me, and those chubs! I bought the kids these swimmy deals that are like lifejackets/arm floaties that allow them to swim around with a lot more buoyancy and less physical restriction. Since it is even warmer than usual this week (94 this afternoon!) we hit the pool, only the pool is still ice cold this time of year, since the evenings still cool down. (In the summer we don't have that problem, since it NEVER cools down!) Mommy doesn't want to get in and swim when there is a solid breeze and freezing water temperatures, and the kids always tell me that, "we aren't babies!" when I try to get them to just play in the baby pool.

So, enter in these floatie bad boys, and you have the perfect answer! They swam around in that ice water for probably about 90 minutes, and they roam aaaaall over the big pool with no problems... I couldn't believe how they didn't tire of it! Finally megan wanted to leave, but I had to bribe Robby to get him out.

If you were wondering, yes, Robby does currently have an un-styled mohawk. I left it half-buzzed to be a funny surprise for Daddy when he got home from work last week... and we just haven't trimmed the rest since!

They stopped swimming only for strawberry & brownie breaks.
