Summer Doin'

We are members of a local private pool club. It's just over the line in MD, and it seems that everyone there has little kids, and most of the parents have a tattoo. So, Kate and I are taking the plunge! No, actually, another dad there and I were commenting on it, and we came to the conclusion that soon it's going to be hip to NOT have a tattoo and we are very avant garde.

Because I am on vacation, most days I pick up the boys, and most days we head to the pool, to be met later by Kate. There is a little kids pool and a regular pool. When I am alone with the boys, I tend to stick to the little pool, holding on to Cash while Mace runs around and jumps and splashes and swims. He is pretty much independent in the little pool. We do spend some time in the big pool, until Cash freaks out a little. It's hard to manage both of them in the water. Maceo is getting to actually swim, though. Today, at his friend's birthday party at the pool, he showed off his surface dives, which none of us knew he could do. I would submerge myself at the bottom, and Maceo would swim over and dive down towards me. Then, I would grab his hands and pull him further down. We'd both come up and he'd ask to do it again.
