Swimming!

I've been super excited this summer to put up our little kiddie pool for the kids. We had no yard last summer so we weren't able to do it. Because we still have no backyard, we've had to put everything in the front yard...which means we can't leave it out :( But we still manage to go out a couple of times each week. Here's Brayden without any hesitation at all:

Brooklyn, on the other hand, wouldn't go near the pool. I hauled 10 gallons of hot water outside so that it was comfortable for them, and she still wouldn't get close. I finally sat on the slide with her in my lap so she could atleast get her feet wet:
Drying off:
The second day we tried getting Brooklyn in the pool it took 45 minutes. I was ready to take the kids in when I finally got her to go down the slide. After that there was no turning back! They stayed out for another hour playing and going down the slide. Here's Brooklyn finally enjoying it:
Brayden loving every minute of it:
And of course the sprinkler...they didn't want to run through it, but Brayden did want to drink from it:
