Fun at the pool with friends

A couple of weeks ago I went to a public pool in Jackson with my friend, Chris, and two of her children, Isabelle (sorry if I screwed up the spelling...I can't ever get it right) and Peyton. Peyton is about the same age as the trio so they played pretty well together after they got over the shyness. Anyways, this was the coolest public pool I've ever been too. It has a whole huge area that young children can play in, including buckets that fill with water and then dump on them, a size appropriate water slide, and lots of other water squirting things. The kids had a blast. I wish I had time to go again before the summer ends, but it isn't looking likely. Next year we'll get together a lot earlier in the summer.

Chris had all 5 kids singing songs and doing the motions.

Maddie on the water slide. She LOVED it!

The boys climbed up and sat on the edge of the pool. It was so cute. They splashed their feet and were just enjoying eachother's company.

Madelynn loves to swim and is getting really good at it.

Madelynn and Aiden running through the 'raining' water.

Malachi swimming. Although there is hardly any water, by the end of our time there he was venturing into the deeper water (like 18 inches) and was attempting to swim. It was more floating on it belly and walking his hands along the bottom of the pool.

Chris, we had a great time with you and can't wait to do it again sometime. I'm so glad you made me go!

We also went and rode ponies after the pool, but more on that in the next post. :)
