The Pool

So we have a pool at our complex that is pretty nice. In fact we have started going there on a regular basis during the week. It's better than the beach cause we can all swim. Plus there are no rocks or sand, never anyone else there, the water is warm from the sun shining on it all day, and we don't have to go anywhere to enjoy it. Plus by 4 in the afternoon the sun has moved behind the building so we can swim without sunscreen. Avi is in heaven! She actually is an amazing swimmer and she is not even two yet. Today she finally figured out how to swim on her own. We bought her a really neat floaty that allows her to swim naturally. It is better than a life vest and safer than just arm floaties. I showed her how to flip over from her back to front and now she doesn't need us to swim. She just takes off! It is awesome. Plus she isn't afraid to get dunked or put her head underwater. We are trying to get her to jump in from the side but she still needs a little more encouragement I think. 
It is great to have a pool that we can enjoy and it is even better that it is easy to just head downstairs to enjoy it. I will say however that it is also great for me cause I need the exercise without the added strain on my already sore body. I have to say its a great way to spend our afternoons as family!
