Esther Williams Watch Out

Yesterday, we took Melita to the park to go swimming for the first time. Our local park is the source of natural springs and there are several wading pools. A perfect place to swim for the first time. Reagan and I swam there when we were little and couldn't wait to share it with our daughter. It wasn't 100% successful but, I think after a few more times we will have a hard time getting Melita out of the water. In her defense because the pool is spring fed the temperature of the water is 72F all year long. That's still pretty chilly to a newborn. All in all I think she did well. However, I think she had the most fun once she was out of the water and wrapped in a towel, chilling on her mom's lap watching the other kids play. She's a people watcher just like me!

You are so lucky to be able to go swimming outside...it is such a pain in the ass for us to take isla swimming. We have to take off far too much clothing :(

We would love to have you! Seriously, it is so gorgeous and nice and you can see the bottom. It's not too deep and it is walking distance (a short 3 minutes) from our house. Love love love.
