Poolside

Yesterday Ellie and I joined my dear teaching friend, Barb, who I taught first grade with three years ago and her granddaughter, Aunika (Aunie for short) at their pool. Ellie's been to the pool a few times, but I think this was when she really fell in love with splishing and splashing. Unfortunately, it took about an hour for this love to bloom and I only captured pictures of the girls warming up to the idea together.

Mom, I'd rather of some of these...

YES, THESE!

Dipping the girls in....

The all interesting spoon...

Yes, I'll play with the spoon!

Learning to share the spoon...

My turn!

All gone!

One of Ellie's newest joys...playing with her hair.

Pretty Aunie

Spoon = Old News Playing Catch with a Stranger = The In Thing to Do

Then, throwing the ball for mommy to go get...

Keeping cool with lots of water!

All in all, it was a beautiful day with our little pool girls!
