Ella Boo's Pool Debut

Ella made her first trip to the pool this weekend! Of course, we were all way more excited than she was! Emma enjoyed watching me get her dressed in her new bathing suit and coating her in sunscreen. It's amazing how unprepared I am with my third child. You would think that I would be so organized, since that is my nature, but for some reason, I've learned to let some things go! We were last minute getting Ella a float and the poor baby definitely needs a hat! Maybe I'll get it together soon! I'm so glad that the afternoon went well since the pool is my best friend during our summer vacation! Emma reluctantly agreed to using her new float even though she thinks she can swim because her feet touch the bottom! Swimming lessons from Miss Mouse are a must for her this year, especially since I will be taking all three of them to the pool. Caleb was not with us this trip, so hopefully I'll remember the camera next time and can add some pics of him later.

Getting ready for the pool! Ella was not as excited about her first trip to the pool as we'd hoped she'd be. As you can see she's just chillin' with her new swimsuit and cover-up.
The pool was a little cold, but Ella loved it!!! She just sat in her float and never cried until I was getting her out! I know she loves getting a bath, but I wasn't sure if Ella would like the pool because the water is not warm yet. Of course there were not the smiles I was hoping for, but for our first trip, I'll take it!
Daddy and his girls!
Ella was all pooped out! She was ready for a nap after her long swim. Once she dried off, I put her in her seat and sat her under the big umbrella at the kiddie pool and she slept while the rest of us enjoyed our time there.
Laying out with mom! It's hard work getting tan!
