Just another lovely day at the pool

Well, at least it was a good day of swimming
for one of my children:

For a little while anyway.
As you can see, it really wasn't our best day at the Lehi pool. And my sisters, who were playing with their cameras, happened to capture it all. Cami even chanced to snap a shot of Gabe walking off the ramp. I was right behind him and fished him out immediately. But it still makes my stomach turn when I remember seeing him completely submersed and sitting at the bottom of the pool - even if only for two seconds. Gotta keep an eye and a hand on that boy.


P.S. The second picture was taken after he slipped on the tile of the ramp, taking a pretty hard fall on his back. I don't even remember why he was crying with Katy. Needless to say, we weren't too disappointed when it started raining like crazy and we all had to vacate the pool.

oh his little sad face reminds me of Harrison!! Hoping next time is a much more enjoyable swim! ;)

that pouty face on Gabe is priceless, what a cutie!

I always love when I have TWO "less-than-perfectly-behaved" children...one is just way too easy :)

I LOVE crying pictures. They are the best. Also, I didn't quite understand why you were just watching him walk off the ramp, so I just decided to take a picture of it. I wish I'd taken TWO! But I guess I was worried when he WAS submerged . . .

I was just glad it wasn't JANE constantly crying, like it usually is.

Yes, Cami, obviously I looked away the second you caught the picture of him walking off the ramp. At least one of us had an eye on him!

I don't understand. None of you ever cried or fussed when you were children. Hmmm.

Poor Day! Looks like a fun day for sure. I am nervous to ever go to the pool. The pictures are so cute though, it's almost worth all the trouble.
