Charlotte's New Pool

Our summer started with a wonderful visit from our friends Anna & Joseph and their adorable little guy, Anderson. While they were here, the summer heat kind of snuck up on us and caught us off guard. We wanted the babies to have some fun in the sun, but were forced to improvise on the pool. We came up with this:

That's right - an under-bed storage container! We had everything else we needed - swimsuits, toys, sunscreen, water... what difference does the container make? The kids had a ball and we had a good laugh, too.

Blowing kisses at Anderson!

Just minutes after Anna & Joseph hit the road, I got an email from them with an Amazon gift card attached! As a Thank You for "letting" them stay with us (are you kidding?? it was our pleasure!), they sent the gift of a pool for Charlotte!! Today was the day she got to play in it for the first time!

She loved it! She splashed around, kicked, played with her squirt toys, and chatted with the froggy. It's a good thing Charlotte has a few different swimsuits, as I can see they'll be in pretty constant use this summer!

If you're wondering why Charlotte's sitting in the shade or why she's not wearing a hat to protect that sweet little head of hers from the sun..........

She hates hats!
