makin' a splash!

i LOVE the pool at our condo in st. augustine. it is a zero-depth entry pool, which made frolicking in the water so easy and fun for our kids. they were confident to play independently while we relaxed within close proximity. my kids are fine as long as they can have their feet at the bottom of the pool. when they get deeper, that floating feeling just unnerves them for some reason! i wish we had access to a pool like this in town. anyway, the kids made great use out of our $1 ring floats from wal-mart...the smaller size of these rings is a perfect fit for our kiddos! more than worth the money! :) every other trip to st. augustine, we've ended up only going to the pool once during our trip due to weather or busyness... well, this year, i was determined to get to the pool every day... and we did! on the two days that we toured downtown, the pool was such a nice way to cool off before a late dinner (so our 4 PM lunch actually worked out great!) we spent the majority of the other day at the pool, which the kids just absolutely loved. there were no other kids in the pool, which was surprising to me. but i guess we went in between spring break and summer! so here are the kids having a ball in the pool...






this one's for pappy... lock 'em and load 'em!

almost a mirror image!




caroline didn't get the memo that she was only in 8 inches of water!
she is holding on for dear life!
and finally, sweet amelia's swimsuit debut. she slept in the stroller most the time that we were at the pool, but she did sit with me and put her feet in the water for a few minutes. it was a little too bright for her out there, so we hurried back in the shade for this picture.


this picture is more evidence that she really did go on vacation with us. i know there's not many of amelia on here lately... but today is her 4 month old birthday, so i will be posting some pictures of her soon!

one more vacation post to go! and it's a good one!
