Fun in the Sun! --Sort of

Today we (Myself, and Aunt Katie-Mahlon's Sister) took Madison and Jacob to the pool. We were all ready to spend the afternoon in the sun, swiming in a heated pool. But the weather turned chilli this afternoon and there were clouds that kept covering the sun, but that didn't stop us. We got the kiddos dressed (note Madison's new bathing suit: Thanks Grandma Newton!) and sun-screaned and headed out to the pool. When we got there we were surprised to find the pool was not heated (and if they say it's heated, I would say they are lying!) It was freezing! Jacob would have nothing to do with the water after a one foot trial. Madison however, surprized us all by not only putting both feet in, but smiling about it and wanting to get in further. She loved it! This is the first pool experience she's had this year (Mahlon and I took her only once last year) and I'm glad she liked it, despite the fact that the water was cold! I on the other hand, as well as Katie, were freezing and so even though Madison was loving the splashing and kicking, our pool time only lasted a few miuntes. Then we warmed up in the hot tub and left. The whole excursion took 30 min. We probably spent more time and energy getting ready and walking there than we actually spent at the pool. Despite the bad weather and cold water, we've decided to try to make it to the pool every week, hopefully we'll be able to stay longer next time!
