A Lazy Day in the Pool

It's May and the temperatures are already soaring to triple digits. I know that there is a reason we love the desert over the snow we experienced in Iowa and Utah. I'll take 100+ degree temperatures over 20 below any day. We DO miss the California coast and the ocean ... so one of the requests of the kids was to get a house with a pool when we moved here to Arizona. Yesterday we spent a few hours just lounging around in the pool ... what a GREAT way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

The twins like getting in the pool ... they like the little wading area by the stairs. They're still reluctant to go out into the middle of the pool with anyone even with a life vest or floaties. They love splashing around and throwing things for the older kids to dive after.

Joshua's favorite place is on the pool chairs OUTSIDE the pool. Go figure?!
