Pool Time

I thought pool time was over for the season but we went one more time with our friends to their neighborhood pool.  The girls had fun together.  Abigail is officially independent in the pool.  I discovered if I put arm floaties on her with her life vest that she could balance better and could play in the water without me holding her . . . this made her a much happier swim partner:

 

It also helped that this pool had a play area for children that was completely enclosed for safety.  So we were able to stay at the pool much longer than normal because Abigail played here for a while:

 

At the end of the day, Emily decided she wanted to jump off the diving board!!!!  She did 3 times!  She wanted me near her in the water and she got her goggles and her tube float and jumped in.  I forgot my camera so we never could get a shot of her actually jumping in since the camera on my phone had such a delay . . . but here she is right after she jumped in.  I was so proud of her!!!!
