A weekend at the pool

As the summer seems to be quickly going by, we spent some time this weekend enjoying the water and some warm, sunny days. Kaitlyn spent the weekend with a fever and was quite grumpy, but seems to have recovered (strep test negative today at the dr's and fever-free) and she is back to "full force"- she'll also tell you that "I'm feeling much better- can we go swimming?"

Saturday afternoon Paul and I headed to Gettysburg to join some friends at a local pool while Kaitlyn and daddy laid low. We had a blast and he had a big accomplishment- jumping off the side of the pool (standing up) into the water- he loved it, head underwater and all. I did promise him ice cream if he did this, but he soon figured out that not only was he going to get ice cream, but he was actually having fun :)

Sunday we got our own "pool" out so that we could enjoy the water- and to not share Kaitlyn's germs with any friends or our wonderful neighbors who invited us for a swim in their pool. I was quite impressed that it only took a few minutes for little Paul to remember that we can use their slide to make a waterslide.... which this year became a "diving board" for him (he was 'brave' and jumped in from the slide).

Here we go... the Redfern water and amusement park (nothing like the Enchanted Forest-Water Safari which we went to with Paul for the first time over the 4th of July vacation, but still okay).
OOHH- nobody told me the water was cold!
Don't worry- I'm okay....
The "brave" Paul III attempting his tricks.
The best part- hot dogs and chips/dip on the porch (under the long-overdue-and-finally-replaced umbrella) for lunch!
