We decided this year to get a pass to the community pool. I am so glad we did! It's been a hot summer so far and we've already gotten our money's worth out of the pass. The kids love it. If it is warm and not raining we go. Ella Jane naps until about 2 or 2:30, we head right over and stay until about 6:00. It's been a blast!

Patrick was very reserved and nervous the first week, but he grew fins and has become a fish like his older siblings. He's gotten so brave that he goes into water up to his chin! I'm hoping we'll have him holding his breath and putting his face in the water before summer is over.

Of course, Isabelle has never met a body of water that she doesn't just love. Her baby sister is following suit. Both girls can't get enough of the water.

Jack has become a very good swimmer. He is even very comfortable now going down the slides into 10 feet of water.

Our friend, Maddy, came with us a couple of times. Last year she wasn't too sure about a big pool. This year, she can't get enough!

The girls waiting for the lifeguard safety check to be over. I think this is such a great picture. It shows how much these sisters enjoy each other.
