Fish

Well, after an entire day of filling it with water, the new swimming pool is finally operational. This apparently meant we had to try it immediately, despite the fact that it was 96 degrees and blisteringly hot. So, slathered up in sunscreen, we all ventured into the cool water to escape the summer heat.

Troy did better this year than last with the swimming. He splashed around and kicked his legs, he drank the water (hopefully he didn't pee in it first), he enjoyed the warm sun on his face, and generally seemed to have a good time. My wife is always telling me that he loves water so much because he's a fish (Pisces in the zodiac), and it seemed to come to life when his little legs touched the water. The only problem we really had was trying to get him out of the pool. I guess he's hooked now!
