A Day at the Pool

Last week, Sage attended a dance camp all week long (more on that later). On Wednesday after class, Jada (one of the moms) invited everyone to come and swim in their neighborhood pool. Both of my kids were thrilled. I was a little concerned with how Jaggar would do. I'd never seen the set up of this pool, so I didn't know how much of a nightmare it would be. Turns out, it was perfect. The first several feet of the pool were only about a foot deep, so Jaggar could walk in it fine, giving him plenty of room to play. I quickly showed him what would happen if he went further--that he couldn't touch and that he'd go under (though I didn't let him). He seemed to understand that, but he still kept saying, "Take me over to the kids." He wanted to play, too. Thankfully, Jada had some arm floaties that he did really well with. He didn't really get in the deeper parts because he didn't like when his feet couldn't touch, but he was always near them. This way, I didn't have to constantly worry about him drowning. If he did fall in, I could get to him. There was also a shallow ledge in the deep part, so he was able to "be with the kids." Everyone had a great day, and we didn't leave until six pm.

The next pictures are several group shots, none of which turned out amazing, which is why I posted all of them. Jaggar is looking here, but Sage is covering her eyes.
After telling Sage to take her hands down, she is looking and Jaggar is leaving.
And then there's this.
But then I took these, and a miracle happened:
THIS picture. I love love love this.
