Highlight of the hotel

 


The kids have really loved having such easy access to a pool. It definitely means we go swimming a lot more. It has a 2 foot shallow end that works really well for building Maggie's confidence. All three of them have really gotten more confident in the water. Jackson is still a bit of a dare devil. He will dive, try to do flips and get things off the bottom. After watching some older kids the other day Jackson tried a backflip - yikes. We told him not to do that anymore but I wish I would've seen it coming. He is so tough and daring with some things but then so emotional and whiny about others. Maggie will swim with fewer flotation aides :) and has even started jumping into the shallow water. She still doesn't like to get her head wet but doesn't mind going out in the deeper water with floaties. Hailey doesn't mind going under at all and thinks it's pretty funny. She will put on the arm floaties and just swim around a little on her own. She is another one that is a little unpredictable. You just never quite know what she is going to be brave enough to do - with or without you! We will miss the pool when we leave the hotel.
