Charlie's Blog: Hooray! The pool is open!

After a series of trips and adventures and maintenance problems with the pool, Charlie's Grandma and Grandpa finally got the pool open. The weather was perfect and the pool heater had kicked in to bring the temp up to a very comfortable 85ish degrees. Charlie, Michelle and I all slipped into our swimming suits, grabbed the point and shoot and took the plunge.

Here we see Charlie touching down into the water. He isn't quite sure about it at first but has his shovel as a handy tool if he needs it to bail the water out of the pool. He decided quickly that he realy would like to use his inflateable swim saucer.

Still not completely convinced yet not really panicing Charlie Started to warm up to the idea of floating along so long as he could still hold his trusty bailing shovel.

Ahhhhh! That feels great! I'm not real sure...

But I think that Charlie thinks Pool is spelled "P-P-O-O-L "

...Well with that out of the way...

Charlie really became quite comfortable in his first swimming experieince.

Unfortunatley he may have stayed in too long as his feet started to absorb water as you can see in this photo here.

Don't worry son... I'm sure your feet will wring out just fine!

Here we are 2 dudes from muscle beach drying off in the afternoon sun.

Charlie looks like he is ready to hit the pool again but I think he is still a little worried about his waterlogged feet. He's hiding them here in this picture.
