Pool Party

We finally got around to setting up Kelsey's pool. Between the rainy days and being gone, we finally got it done. Kelsey was really excited as Matt filled it up with air and seemed so intrigued as to how it was actually going to turn into a pool. We filled it with water in the early morning because we wanted the water to be warm by the afternoon. We decked Kelsey out in her swimsuit and lathered her up good with sunscreen. The poor girl has my pale white skin, so we bought her a swim shirt for outdoor swimming to help keep her from burning. We had all the pieces in place, except the water had not warmed up like we had hoped. Kelsey was a little timid to get in, so Daddy came to the rescue and got in with her. She seemed to slowly warm up to the idea, although she was not fond of sitting. She preferred to stand up and would pride herself in squatting down just enough so her little bum touched the water and then would stand right back up. She would also tell Matt "I stand right here" to let him know she was quite content with her choice. When we all came in, we were happy to find that Kelsey did not burn! YAY! What a fun summer afternoon :)
