As hot as it's been the past few days, I went and bought Bug a pool. Now, she LOVES bath time, so I assumed that she would LOVE the pool too, right? Wrong!! Maybe it was the huge inflatable hippo that is part of the pool, but this child wanted nothing to do with getting in the water. I thought the hippo was a brillant idea...providing some shade and sun block, but Addison wasn't as thrilled with it as mommy! She was much more content to pull at the grass along side the picnic blanket. She was happy to sit at the side of the pool and bat at the toys inside, floating in the water. She was very unhappy when you tried to actually put her in the pool and would quickly climb out. So, daddy tried to help out and get inside the pool. I have never laughed so hard! She eventually sat down and played for a short amount of time, but as soon as she was in by herself and realized it, she crawled right out. I can only hope we'll have better luck next time!
I sure do look cute in my swimsuit!
Even after Daddy got in with me, I still wasn't thrilled about the hippo...
This isn't too bad, I guess....

Brian, that hippo is perfect for you. Right size and everything.
