Pool Time!

We spent many hours in the pool playing. Jack is so independent now and can get around by himself (with his waterwings on). So, some of the time, I could lay in my chair and watch him play. Our hotel had two slides...one small one and another big one. Jack went down both. He was the youngest kid that I saw go down the big slide. He loved it...except for the time that he got turned around and accidently went in backwards. Yeah, that didn't go over very well. But, other than that he loved it...actually so much that he went down it at least 50 times. Wow!!!! Lauren had fun in the pool too. She got a little cold at times, but was fine just sitting by the pool with us. After a bit of coaxing, she went down the little slide. We went down the slide for an entire hour one afternoon. It was great to see her having so much fun!!

Our friends were on Maui the same time as we were, so one morning we met for breakfast and went down to there pool. There was a pirate ship there which was really cool. Lauren had so much fun in that pool. Jack was having a bit of a hard time...he got sunscreen in his eyes which was difficult to come out. But, once we got that washed out he, Lauren and Emma had a fun time sliding down the slide at their pool.

Gunnar, Jack and Jason in the pool. I love that Jason is taking a sip of his drink while in the pool.

We used the boogie board as a surf board in the pool.

Coming down the little slide! Great expressions from both Papa and Jack. My dad would hide under the slide and roar at the kids as they came down. They loved it!!

A big splash as Lauren and I went down the little slide.

Below are two videos of the slide. The first is to show you how high Jack was when he started. The second shows him coming in the water. Sorry in advance for my screams in the video.
