Pool Time

It was FINALLY hot here this past week. It's been an unusually cool summer, I know a lot of people that like it cool, but I prefer the very hot weather. Other than this last week, and one week in June, it's been in the 70's and even 60's some weeks. I remember last summer I either took Isabella to the city pool or she swam in her little pool almost every day. This summer I have taken her to the pool once, and we just got out her little pool now that the summer is almost over! Although, I also attribute the lack of pool time to her hugely expanded assortment of outdoor toys (there's only so much you can fit in in a day!), thanks to friends, family, and strangers (jeep, swing set, etc.). Both she and I have been enjoying the hot weather, that has now come to an end once again. She is getting to be more and more independent in her playing, but likes to have me near, so I would grab a book, and lounge next to her while she splashed around in her pool for the majority of the afternoons.

She thought she would get out of the pool and read for a while. Here she is enjoying "The Firm" by John Grisham, I found the plot to be a little too advanced for her, but she found it quite interesting. :)

And a hot afternoon in the sun wouldn't be complete without enjoying a popsicle in the porch.
