First swim of the season

After a bit of a rough start, our pool is open for the season! We gathered the cousins on my dad's side of the family for the inaugural swim of 2012. The water temperature was a chilly 76 degrees, but the boys didn't seem to notice.

Luke has graduated from a life jacket to floaties (or muscles as we like to call them). I think he'll be swimming all by himself before long.  

Baby Jack wasn't as enthusiastic, but managed to have fun once we put him in a boat where he didn't have to have his legs in the water. It was shockingly cold compared to his usual bathwater.  

Then the boys discovered the water launchers.  

Holten swam for a little bit, but preferred to hang out outside of the water or in the sandbox. 

By the end of our swim, the boys were starving and Gray's lips were turning a light shade of blue. We grilled some hot dogs and tried to make the boys wait as long as possible before letting them get back in the pool to swim some more.
