Swimming

Oh, how Avery loves the pool. The rental has a heated pool and so we have been spending much of our spare time enjoying the water. At first Avery did not really seem that excited about the whole thing. She wanted to be held, she wanted out after 5 minutes. It was odd to me. Then Jennifer taught her how to blow bubbles, the cousins starting doing awesome jumps, and she figures out how to jump into the pool from the ledge. Suddenly there is no better place to her than the pool.

She not only will jump off the edge of the pool now, but she seeks out higher ground so that she can jump from as high as her mother will let her. I think she would have jumped off the 4 foot wall like the big kids if I let her. Se is already such a daredevil. Now when we walk past our community pool she runs over and bangs on the gate crying for a chance to get in. Poor thing. I let her splash her legs in the water just to show her that it was too cold to swim in, but she didn't seem to care!

We didn't care if it was cold, raining, snowing... as kids, we loved being in the lake! At least the shallow part. Funny that we grew up on a lake but didn't really swim! And the girls were not as daredevil as that little Avery- did I mention to watch out for that one?!!

Legacy has a heated pool and we have Legacy privileges (my parents are timeshare owners there). Just let me know when you would like to go.
