Swimming

We have been so much enjoying our pool this year! It is fabulous. The water is heated to a pleasant 86 degrees so even when it isn't too warm out we can still enjoy the water. And on the hot days, well, just nothing beats it! Nina has taken grandly to the water. Her favorite activity is jumping into the deep end with flair!

She jumps in and then swims about three or four feet to me. If you can call it swimming. It is mostly just wild flailing of her arms and legs, but its does seem to propel her in a forward direction. She can even lift her head grasping for breath before continuing on. So much fun!

Lola watches on eager for the day she can join in.

Here is the whole gang on a lovely post-World cup, 4th of July weekend swim.

I think it is a toss up who loves the water more, me or Nina.

July also means the Los Altos Art & Wine Fair. Face painting, glitter tattoos, and rides, what more could a little girl ask for? And we thank the organizers for placing one of the wine booths right next to the kiddie area. Like!

Once again, Lola is sidelined.

Nina bumped into one little girl from her class, and so they rode a few rides together. It was so adorable, them holding hands eagerly, but very patiently, waiting for their turn.

Ah, too bad.... my find at the fair is hidden behind Lola's head.
