This week, I got the kids down for a nap, packed the bags, got them up, fed them lunch, got everyone lathered in sunscreen, dressed them in swim diapers and bathing suits, loaded up the car and headed to the pool.
I know it doesn't sound like much, but it's quite an ordeal to get everyone ready and everything packed and all three of us in the car, fed and napped and ready to go. In fact, it took so long, by the time we got there it was almost time for my son to take a nap again. But that's ok. Because it it was a great time, and once we got there and I saw my daughter having so much fun, it was all worth it. Plus, it was surprisingly relaxing for me. Of course, I guess that's the point of lounging by the pool-to relax-but I thought it would be stressful. But I had a friend there who helped wrangle the kids and kept an eye on things, so it was actually quite nice!
My daughter LOVES the water, and splashing in the fountain:
While my son is content to just sit on the sidelines and watch his sister...
It was a quick trip, only about 45 minutes, but the kids enjoyed the fresh air! :) Maybe next time their daddy can go too!

I love to see that your family is doing so great! I love taking Emma to the pool, I keep a bag packed with swim diapers/bathing suit/towels and sunscreen, etc. so if we decide to go I just grab it out of the closet and go! It makes it a little easier because even one momma and one toddler is an ordeal!! lol
ReplyDeleteSo precious!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea Kelly! Maybe then we would get to the pool more often and with less of a headache, haha! :) Hope you're having a good summer!!
