Brina a little unsure about this whole “pool” idea

Today’s flashback Friday goes back about 10 years when the girls first were introduced to a pool.  The first trip to the pool with the Greenville Mother’s of Multiples Club family party.  We didn’t even have swimming suits for them yet so we took them in onesies and swimmer diapers.  They were not to thrilled about the pool the first time around.  Both were a little surprised and not overly excited about it.  You would never know that now though!

The second time we went to a pool was about a week later with our friend Mike and Ashley.  We had gotten the girls swimsuits in the meantime and they did a little better the second time around.  Still not thrilled about it, but they tolerated it better.

Brina was a little surprised by the pool water.

Brina standing up in the pool, still not sure about this whole pool thing.

Brina thinking about sitting down, but still disturbed by the pool.

Brina was very curious by all the other kids swimming around her.  Why do they look like they are having so much fun!?

Karlie’s first dip into the pool.  She was not happy!

Karlie’s thinking that maybe this isn’t too bad.  Daddy seems to think it’s okay…

Jake sprinkled a little water over her head.  She wasn’t entirely sure if she liked that.

Karlie sitting on Daddy’s lap talking with another twin.  He wanted to know why she didn’t like playing in the pool, ha!

Karlie looking at Mommy for help and confirmation that this pool thing was okay.

Karlie – “Can someone turn off the bright light overhead!”  She was not a fan of the bright sunny day and if she was directly in the sun would just close her eyes and whimper.  Poor baby girl.

Survived their first “pool swim” or should we say little dip!  They were much more content to be back in the bassinet together.

 

Swimming at the pool was EXHAUSTING!  They were out for a nap within a few minutes of drying off and getting into the bassinet.  (Brina and Karlie)

Brina and Karlie got their cool new swimming suits and ready to go again.    They think it’s funny now as they are at home sitting in the chair together….

Mommy with Karlie and Brina.  They tolerated the pool better this time around with only a few tears.  Thankfully it was a small quiet pool.

Brina all snuggled up in her dry towel.  She is now ready for her nap.

Look at those pruney little tootsie toes!  So cute!

 Karlie is getting sleepy.  Swimming is hard work Dad!
