Kirsten went swimming for the very first time on Saturday night. After getting home from camping we were playing mariokart. I kept falling into the clear blue cold water...which looked more and more inviting each time I drove off the bridge into the water. So we called up Amanda and asked her if we could come swimming in her pool. She of course thought it was a great idea and encouraged us by saying there weren't any college kids swimming in it.
So we get to the pool and Kirsten, being the beach bum she is, spent the first 45 minutes sleeping.
But after enough shouting from us (ok it really was mostly me) she woke up. She wanted to show off her new swimming suit (courtesy of Old Navy) and the cute cover up Liz bought her
She then got in the pool with mom. She thought it was a little cold...
So then we let her ride on the blow up lounge chair with Dad. I think she thinks that she's sailing across the ocean, captain of her ship.
Then she got into the water and totally loved it. She stayed a good 15 minutes before her bottom lip turned blue and was pulled out of the water. We are thrilled she loves the water and look forward to many "pool days" in the future.
