The pool is open!

 

We had our first swim of the season at my parents house on Memorial Day.  It was also my dad’s birthday!

Hudson managed to find himself a ball:

Towards the end of last summer, we had a scary moment. Hud fell into the pool and did not have his puddle jumper on because we had just gotten out there.  I was the closest to him (and I was also six months pregnant).  I have never moved so fast in my life and he was not under more than ten seconds.  However, it apparently scarred him a bit because he remembers falling in and was very hesitant to get off the steps. I am suddenly glad we weren’t able to start swim lessons until August – it will give us some time to work with him.

It was sweet Harper’s first time in the water!  We have a total water baby on our hands!  She loved it!

Hudson could me coaxed out if someone held tight to him:

Look at the birthday boy going for a dive!  He will probably kill me for putting this on here, but I don’t think he reads the blog so I am probably safe. :)
