We had other plans today (the mall or the park) but first the girls wanted to play with the hose, then the sprinkler which turned into a day in the pool (just the girls and the dogs- Mom and Dad are wimps).
After a few hours, we had to drag them inside for a shower and a nap. I have never seen Bella fall asleep so quickly! They had such a great time outside. I can't wait to start swim lessons again. I would like Julia to be swimming without floaties by summer.
Our dogs also love to swim. This is probably normal for those of you who have Labs or similar dogs but we have an English Bulldog "Lucy" (bulldogs are not supposed to even be able to swim) and an almost 10 yr old Boston Terrier "Harley" who sometimes walks on 3 legs due to an immune issue. Definitely not the poster dogs for swimming but they beg to come into the pool area. Lucy will cannon ball into the pool after a ball and will swim around until she is close to drowning. The 4th picture is of her jumping into the pool from the rocks. She can barely handle a mile long walk but loves to swim. She is now passed out and will sleep for days!
The dogs are still my babies as well- can you tell? We've had Harley since the week after we got married.
*We couldn't find Bella's floaties from last year so she is wearing an old life jacket that we use at the lake. She is normally not this protected! :)
*Ignore the lack of sheets on Bella's bed- its laundry day.

Looks like you had a fun day! Love this weather, take advantage of it since it won't last long!! Gotta love DOGS!! I hear ya about them being your kids too...we got Roxie our boxer the same week I found out I was pregnant with Austyn. She is my baby!! Enjoy the rest of your day!
We will have to get together to swim this summer. We use our pool all day sometimes. What would we do without a pool it is so hot.
whoohoo! Don't you just love the warm enough weather to play in the water?! Can't wait for summer-time and lazy days by the pool with the kiddos...the only way to survive the heat! I love that you dogs just join in the fun!
Thanksk for making me jealous! We went swimming in the indoor pool on Saturday, does that count? Poor Elise still turned blue from the cold water.
I look forward to many swimming days in AZ.
Bella looks so sweet and cozy in her bed :)
