Our First Pool Attempt

On Memorial Day we decided to take the babies to the pool for the first time. Little did we know there is so much prep work required for such an event.

Our morning started out well with happy babies and it continued through getting them in their bathing suits and sunscreen. Once they were in their bathing suits, time started getting away from us. I don't know how many pictures I took, but I guess we were just taking on the role of new parents. Once we finally got into the car, we had to stop at my in laws to blow up floats which Gabe interpreted as nap time. After the floats were inflated, we finally got up to the pool on the farm.

We were greeted with plenty of people wanting to hold and see the babies in their new bathing suits. Twenty minutes later, we were in the water with two expressionless babies. Gabe cried at first because the water was cold and he wanted to sleep. Eden kept a stern look on her face as if to say, "who's idea was this?" Literally 5 minutes into pool time it began to rain. We headed for the house until it eased up then tried again with little success.

Although the day was a wash out, we still had a good time. I feel much more prepared to try the pool again. Below are the best pictures we could get of the twins in their swim gear. Eden loves her sunglasses because it changes everything to blue.
