Swim!

Today we woke up & it was HOT outside! At 11am we were all dying even inside with the air on so we thought it would be a good day to blow up the big slide & splash pool we got for Andy..

Then we figured, by the time we went to the stroe & found what type of pump it takes to blow it up & get it blown up, it'll be late & it was SO hot Andy couldnt have stayed out for more than an hour. We have MILLIONS of cats in this neighborhood so we dont want to leave it blown up all night b/c it will get popped from our beloved Fluffy or one of her kittens so Mike went to 2 Walmarts to find our towns most popular item of the day.. a $5 pool!

He found one & Andy got lotioned up & headed outside for his first little pool adventure.

Go figure..the second we walk outside it cools off & is about to rain, so the water is FREEZING, Andy refuses to sit in it, just stand while splashing abit, throwing water balls & looking a bit cold & occasionally terrified as he slips & gets splashed by the cold water.

Sooo.. as Mike sat with his feet in the pool I put on a swimsuit ( yikes) and ran outside to hop in!

Holy crap.. no wonder Andy wouldnt sit..it was FREEZING! So I slowly got in & then sat down & tried to coax him to play with me, we splashed Daddy & daddy soaked Mommy..and Andy cried "Noo Noo" and told us to stop & then took away my cup of water I was using to splash him & Dad with. Ah.. a bossy one we have...

Finally it got too cold to be outside in the pool anymore so we got a screaming Andy inside & hes currently zonked out in his bed. Sweet baby, I cant believe he's almost 2 =(

The sun is back out, hopefully heated up the cold water a bit.. and we'll head back out later, for another try!
