Cooling Off in the Heat

We have bought a blow-up pool from someone and have been given a blow-up pool over the last few years.  Both of these have had holes in them where we couldn’t find all of them, so needless to say they didn’t work.  Yesterday some friends gave us a kiddie pool that they brought from the States when they moved here.  It was for their daughter, whom I actually taught in the first grade (she’s going into 10th grade this year).  When Ethan went over with us to get the pool, he asked Jennifer if it worked.  He was used to us having to tell him that the pools we had didn’t work.

It was perfect timing.  The weather in June was fairly nice and more on the cool side of things, but we are now experiencing summer.  It’s hard to believe that it was cold enough last week for Sienna to wear long sleeves and pants, and yesterday was 90 degrees.IMG_9897IMG_9902Ethan enjoyed putting water in the pool and “helping” Gary clean it.IMG_9916   Today Zsuzsi’s family came over to pick cherries and apricots from our trees.  Edit’s parents own a peach farm, so she has been looking forward to getting fruit from our trees all summer.IMG_9924Such a cutie… yes, both of them!

Today was over 90 degrees, so when Edit called I told her that we got a new pool and that Zsuzsi and Ethan could play in it when they came over.IMG_9937Ethan patiently putting the water into the pool.IMG_9939Now everyone patiently waiting for the pool.IMG_9961  Ethan and Zsuzsi having a dandy ‘ole time.IMG_9945A future playmate of Sienna’s- Kata. 

I put a swimming suit on Sienna and planned to put her in the pool, but the water was too cold, and by the time the kids were getting in the pool it was Sienna’s nap time.IMG_9968A good-bye hug.  Ethan used to hug Zsuzsi, but she didn’t like it.  During the last few months she has let him hug her and doesn’t seem to mind at all.  She even asked for a 2nd hug today.
