Chloe's Swimming Party

A few weeks ago we had a pool party at Chloe's House.Holly was tentative at first, unsure of water in this new format.She wasn't in Mommy's arm's like the Pool. She wasn't safe in her tub with her toys and warm cosy water.She was surrounded by friends and splashing and cool water in the warm sun.She spent a lot of time hovering around the edge, curious of the pool and sprinklers, feet in the grass testing the waters.Thatcher is checking out one of the pools here, he isn't yet a fan, but his Mommy is taking him to swim classes so he can join us at the pool sometime soon.Holly was in and out of the water lathered in sunscreen most of the afternoon.Tristan wasn't much of a fan either, and his mommy stepped on a bee so she couldn't sit by the pool with him.Chloe however is such a water baby. She found her spot in the sprinkle pool and never looked back.David was also quite a fan, but he loved to run in and out of the water and splash and play.Maya had a lot of fun in the water too. I love her little rag top bathing suit, helps protect her from the sun. It inspired me to get a new suit for Holly to wear out doors. I love this one, but I worry that she will get toasted in the sun like her Mommy.After splashing and playing we put Holly and Chloe into a pool together and by then she was used to the water and had a blast.In the end it was just the three girls holding out. Ruby is here with her Mommy resting in the shade.She played peek-a-boo with the girls by raising and lowering the sun guard, they had a lot of fun.We can;t wait to have more pool parties with Chloe.
