Splish Splash

I wasn't really ready for it, but swim season has officially arrived at our house. Fortunately for me, my girls aren't worried about Mommy looking her best in a swimsuit...as long as she is splashing around playing Little Mermaid with them, nothing else matters. This weekend we got an extra special treat...my Dad is in town, so my mom and I let him take a turn in the pool with the girls. Here is my little Brooke. She is by far the most cautious of the bunch...always practicing pool safety.

After convincing Brooke to shed her life jacket. She proceeded with caution on the raft. Making sure to stay close to big sister, Bayleigh.

Brylee, my most daring of the bunch is bribing Grandad with some of her sweet kisses. Immediately following these smooches she wanted him to toss her up in the air!

My little lifeguard Bayleigh. She is such a great help in the pool. Always making sure her sisters are safe, and a great swimmer herself.

Grandad may not be into playing Little Mermaid, but he and the girls turned the pool into a Cirque de Soleil show. My crazy Brylee couldn't get enough of being launched into the air.

Here is Miss Bayleigh, showing the girls how to nail a perfect launch and landing.

Guess who finally came around for a toss of her own? Brooke!!!

I must add that it was the first and only. The smile on her face in the picture, quickly turned to one of worry and distress.

I must admit that I am really looking forward to swimming with the girls this summer. I used to have so much fun swimming as a kid, and as an adult, I have gotten so boring. Pool season consisted of getting wet and then laying out. Why should I cook myself in Arizona's hot summer temps for the sake of a tan, when I can be splashing around, making memories with my girls....while pretending to be a mermaid.
