I was a total water bug when I was a kid and even to this day, I love swimming so I just knew that my own kids would love it. I mean, they would have to since it’s built into our DNA, right? Eh.. Not so!
Zoey loved playing with her water table but when it came to small pools or sprinklers, she was NOT a fan. In May we were staying in a hotel out of town and I took her into the hotel swimming pool in a little inflatable baby floatie device thingy and, well, that experience was nothing short of a total DISASTER. Lots of crying and flipping out.
So, it is to my delight that my daughter is slowly coming around to This Water Stuff. We have a few Spraygrounds/Splash Pads here and I finally took her to one and.. well.. she loves it!
Sprinklers and sunshine and popsicles and chubby baby thighs in cute little swimsuits… Love summer time!

I’ve already said it but that first one is such a precious picture. Love, love, love it. I’m glad Z is coming around – makes for some awesome pics too! :)

That first photo is terrific. My kids took a long time to warm up to any kind of fountain or spray-ground but they took to the pool pretty quickly. Over time they’ve come to appreciate any kind of outdoor water fun.
