Our little bathing beauties. This was the closest Mia (right) ever came to swimming - wearing her bathing suit.We looked forward to playing with the girls in the pool all week. We weren't sure what Mia would think, since she wasn't too fond of the pool in San Diego. Sure enough, the first time we stopped by the pool, she wanted nothing to do with it. We tried taking her a few more times, but it was clear she was traumatized by the thought of going near the water. She wanted nothing to do with the lake or even the the jucuzzi bath tub in the condo. We predict that next year when we're back, she'll love the water so much she won't want to get out. Time will tell...
Emma, on the other hand, was a bit more adventurous. She was hesitant at first, but warmed up quickly to cruising around the pool with Mom and Dad, and floating in her ladybug raft. We had the pool to ourselves, so that made it less intimidating for her. She had a great time splashing and even let me throw her in the air. We were probably in for an hour and her hands were like prunes when we got out. After such a fun time we were sure she'd want to go again the next day. She did, but was much more timid with all the people around. The third time we took her we had the pool to ourselves again, but she wanted nothing to do with it. As with Mia, we predict that wil change by next year.
Splash, splash, splash! Kick, kick, kick!
Playing catch with Daddy.The good news is now that we're home, they're both happy with their own bathtub so we can get them cleaned up!
