Dotsie,
The 4th was great! We do have a pool and it's a blessing.
The kids had a great time swimming! The middle child, Dillon, who just turned 5 was so thrilled to have swam for the first time without his swimmies! They brought a new pool toy, a battery operated fish that you turn on and it just swims around the pool. My husband wants to get a bunch of them and just leave them in there, thinks it would be funny.
Maggie and I did manage to get in a good walk while the little ones napped after swimming, they swam till they dropped! We walked about 3 miles, gave us time to really talk about all the juicy stuff.
