And The Pool Is Open!

Emma and I broke in the swimming pool on Saturday for a few hours...And yesterday, the whole family took a little trip to the pool, which was Kate's first time.  Something about summertime just makes you feel good!  Certainly helps that the pool is about 1/2 mile from our house!

A few pool-related  items:

Love this "puddle jumper" float - it is an approved floatation device - and provides a lot of peace of mind.  It came highly recommended by the swim instructor at the YMCA, and Emma even doesn't mind wearing it.  You can find it at Toys R Us and Target, but I ordered through Amazon because I wanted a cute color (very important...we have the yellow one).  

I just bought this gigantic pool bag...still waiting on its arrival.  Can't believe how much stuff is needed for a successful trip to the pool.

We've had a lot of success with Blue Lizard baby sunscreen.  I am a sunscreen fanatic, plus want to make sure whatever I use is gentle.  It's pricey, but still cheaper than California Baby (which is also good).

And here's your reward for stopping by...some sweet summertime fun pictures.

  2. So cute! When we were on vacation we met a couple who bought the gallon sized container of Blue Lizard on Amazon (or somewhere) and refilled bottles as needed - as I recall it ran somewhere around $100 but she said it was totally worth it.

  4. I know I am commenting on an older post, but I just wanted to say thank you! for providing this information. I ordered the puddle jumper float for my 2-year old and we all love it. It is so great to have it in the pool at my in-laws. Please keep the great suggestions coming! Annemieke
