Cold fish!

2

My little fish are freezing now when they swim and its still August! They still go in at least once a day but they start to turn blue and have to come out much earlier than they would like. It makes me sad that summer is ending and school starting next week. The boys have really taken to swimming this summer and amaze me with how well they’re doing. John showed Ethan the backstroke on Sunday and he is getting good at it. They’re both turning into great underwater swimmers and dive down to get toys off the bottom of the pool all the time. We got some neat dive balls (and other fun swim things we’ll have to do a blog post about next spring) and Ethan now holds his breath to see how many he can get in one dive. Its making me wish John and I had bought that house we looked at around the corner with the indoor pool instead of this one (I guess we would have needed to come up with at least $20,000 more and it would have cost a ton to heat that pool/house in winter)! Oh well! I tried getting Ethan excited about the hockey rink John will build again this winter but that wasn’t helping cheer him up about our dwindling pool time this year!

    Ben even looks blue in the picture where he’s swimming!

    Maybe *next* summer will be C’s time to enjoy the water… I can always hope!

    Looks like a lot of fun! Hopefully they will have a long stretch of Indian summer to enjoy more swimming.
