Taking a quick dunk

Today we decided to pack up for the day and visit Grandmom and Granddad for the day.  It is really hot out and Grandmom and Granddad have a pool.  The last time we visited (several weeks ago) our intention was to go in the pool after naptime; however, that did not happen.  This time, my plan was to get there early and to get in the pool before lunchtime.  Granddad and Daddy do not usually go in the pool, so they watched from the side.  Grandmom walked right in…

I got my son into the inner tube and passed him off to Grandmom for a minute while I walked in and had to dive in.  My son took a few minutes to warm up to the idea of being in the pool.  We all had fun for a few minutes and then he made it very clear that he was DONE with the pool for the day.  Luckily, Grandmom had planned for this and had brought down some toys and a tub.  My son spent a little time playing with the buckets and toys until he was just completely over being in a bathing suit by the pool.  He was ready to get dry and get back into the house. 

Oh well… we tried… I was such a water baby when I was little.  I was hoping he would be too… Yet another way that he takes after Daddy… he likes land and not water…
