Lounging Poolside

My sister seems to think splashing in the pool is a great thing to do. Last weekend she went swimming three times and still wanted more! Her favorite activities seemed to include spraying her nephew with a water shooter.

After a while, she wrapped this big clunky vest around herself and she loved it even more. It looked like the adults all backed off her just a little and she reveled in that little bit of independence.

Then she found the garden hose and it's small trickle of (very cold) water pouring into the pool. All the adults, especially her aunt, gave a big reaction every time S splashed the hose in their direction, which, of course, just encouraged her further.

Her final activity was to jump into the water. This seemed to be fun too, although it looked like S was enjoying the freedom of getting in and out of the pool more than the actual act of jumping into the water.

Through all of this, I just enjoyed hanging out at the side of the pool.
