Pool Fun

This past weekend was my Mam and Pap’s 50th wedding anniversary and I had a family shoot scheduled in Chesterton, Indiana — so we went down to visit my parents for the weekend.

One special thing we ended up doing was going to my Aunt Sis’ pool at her apartment complex and letting the kids swim. They’re REALLY warming up to the idea of swimming. It was fun.

Jobee however did not think that it was all that fun.

This was her first time ever going in to a pool.

Her first time going in to a body of water that wasn’t a warm bath, surrounded by the arms of her Mama.

As you can tell, she wasn’t all that fond of it at first, even though her Bumpa kept her very safe and comfortable.

She did however, calm down when my Aunt Sis did the ‘Mama bounce’ with her and held her close with just her feet dangling in.

When she went back to my dad, she was much more open to the idea and actually started to enjoy herself.

Tell me that is not the cutest little swimmy diaper butt ever?

But, she really liked it when Daddy got his hands on her. He had her butt wiggling like a little fish and had everyone laughing.

What she really  preferred was to be snuggled up on her Grandma though. I could just eat her up!

Here’s a shot of everyone enjoying the pool and Macky modeling her cute little “Brown belly” (everyone on the brown side has a ‘beer’ belly)

Olive tried very hard, the whole time, to make sure that we knew she was still mad at us and is not going to have a good time yet.

But eventually Daddy even got to Mrs. Grumpy Pants and she had some fun too! This was the first time we had seen her smile for days and days. It was a welcome treat.
