Fish Tales..

Under the sea
The Little Mermaid,
Composed by Alan Menken with lyrics by Howard Ashman


Under the sea
Darling it's better
Down where it's wetter
Take it from me
Up on the shore they work all day
Out in the sun they slave away
While we devotin'
Full time to floatin'
Under the sea...

Meet my fish named Payton.  In the beginning of the summer she was everyday asking is it May1st yet?  May 1st was a lucky number to her because our pool is open from May 1- October 31st and she was ready and had been since last summer.  TO begin the summer, Payton was using her purple arm swimmers and very soon into the month she decided she was brave enough without them.  She was sliding down slides into the pool, diving off diving boards (much to Mommy and Daddys nervousness..I made her wear her arm swimmers at first but then she did without them numerous times)

Backfloating

I call this back floating and Payton says this was when she was taking her nap in the pool and getting her suntan.

First Sliding Board into the pool moment.  Now she can't get enough of them.

And off she goes...Her FIRST Big Diving board moment!

Our FIRST Diving board moment..with the arm floaties..waiting patiently for her turn.

Jumping off the diving board...look mommy no arm floats and ito the 8ft.

Back floating

My Sun Baby!

Swim dancing and singing

Underwater swimming

Underwater swimming

Bombs away!



Heading out to the pool and posing on the way...Can you tell she loves to have her picture taken?!



Dr Pepper..good to the last drop...especially if its Daddy's Dr Pepper

Swimming by the moonlight and the pool lights.  Love the late night swims.

Needless to say it is October and time is running down to be in the pool so we will be taking full advantage of every bit of time we get to be in there whether or not it is 40 degrees or 90 degrees in the water.  She has even been named the "little mermaid" and the "little fish" by several of our sunbathing goldies (Older population who spends the entire summer on the same chairs sunbathing) at the pool.
