The duck and the fish

Yesterday we attended a church pool party with both kids.  It is the first time Miriam had been in a real pool that she could remember. (We want once last year.)  I was so proud of her.  I put wings and a tube on her and she got right in.  She learned to kick around in no time at all and had a blast getting in and out of the pool.  She was way too cute.  Evan was our little fish.  Grandpa George took him out into the pool and at first he flipped out and had to come sit by me for a bit.  Then slowly I lowered him into the pool and Grandpa George took him.  Evan had the best time.  He would float with just a little help.  He would kick his feet.  He would stick his face under the water and wasn't upset at all.  George said he really felt like Evan could learn to swim very quickly... he's a natural!
