Livin’ at the Pool

We have been spending a ton of time at the pool here on post, and I am LOVING that part of being here on Belvoir for sure.  Now that Eli has conquered his fear of dunking his head under water, I am signing him up for swimming lessons, because he wants so badly to swim off with the bigger kids to the deep end.  Plus all the cool slides are on the deep end, so I think that has something to do with it!  He is content to go back and forth between the big pool and stay in the 4 foot side and then come over and play with Chase in the baby pool.  Since we’re spending most of our days there, I figured I’d share some pics with you!

First off, you couldn’t ask for a better location…the pools (there are 3 – a lap pool, a huge kid pool with slides, diving boards, and floating lilypads for the kids to play on, and a large baby pool, are situated right above the Potomac and the view is just beautiful! This pic doesn’t do it justice, but it was all I could snap as my battery was running out!

And now here are some pics of the boys playing and enjoying their pool time…while I’m enjoying getting a tan!
