And the pool is . . .

Open! At least at Mimi & Pap's.   We got to spend a nice relaxing Sunday (on Memorial Day weekend) in the pool.

Gracie & Clara managed to get in a couple of swim sessions.  This is the first session, when the sun was going strong.

Mike eventually got in (and got comfortable as this picture shows!), but of course he is one that has to inch his way into the pool, agonizing at every drop of water is splashed his way (and believe me, there were some!).

Pap even got in the water for the second round of swimming.  And I think he turned into a shark - Gracie & Clara were having a blast "swimming" from him!

And you might notice the absence of JM in these shots.  He came with us, he just wasn't in a "pool" mood.  I'm afraid that watching too many swim lessons and not participating may have made him think that he shouldn't get in the pool.  But I'm hoping to remedy that this week by having him have a mini-lesson after the girls' lessons.

After the pool, everyone was ready for a snack. Mimi made some popcorn - which was fascinating for the girls since it wasn't popped in the microwave.

I know we did more throughout the day, but I only captured pictures of the pool and popcorn making.  That's what happens when you're having fun.  Thanks for having us over Mimi & Pap.  It started the summer off right!
