I cannot even fathom how different life would be like without the pool. It has been such a huge part of summer, of our lives, over the past five years.
Growing up, I always wanted to be one of 'those' kids. The kids with their goggles wrapped around their wrists and their hair bleached and sun-streaked. The ones with the bronzed bodies, smelling of sunscreen and sweat...
And now I have three of 'those kids'.
Not exactly the Doublemint twins, but they are pretty darn refreshing looking...
Each time this poor boy got up to flip, his father offered such helpful tips as, 'Flip harder' and 'Jump higher'. All the while sitting in his lounge chair recording.
Ah yes, life is good.

Those are some good backflippers.
Cool flips! So you're telling me that there will come a time when I can relax at the pool once again. Right now, it's a lot of work - you know, making sure Harper doesn't drown and stuff.
Ah yes, life is good when you no longer have to be in the pool with the kids but can sit in a lounge chair and watch them do all of their tricks.
Yup, Elaine, that time will come when both sides of your body will be equally tan, not just the side not holding the baby the entire time!
Nice! My kids are not quite bold enough to attempt any flips. They are cannonballers.
p.s That deleted comment above was mine. I left a word out of my post which changed the meaning entirely, so I had to correct it. I'm telling you so you won't lay awake tonight wondering what someone had written that they later regretted so much that they had to delete it.
