The Best Day Of The Year

In Bobby's World, the best day of the year is not Christmas, his birthday or even the last day of school (however, it is up there), it is the day Daddy finally opens the gate to the pool and lets Bobby jump on in!!
Bob started plumbing the pump and solar heater last week and the weather has been close to 90 all week, so Bobby got to get in yesterday afternoon.  The water still isn't clear but our new filter came  today.  Bobby doesn't care that he can't see his feet, he is just super happy to be in the pool.
After we got home from school today Bobby went upstairs and put on boxer shorts, came down and said "swimming."  I took him out to the pool and we came back inside almost 2 1/2 hours later!!  
The beautiful view from our pool deck.

He started doing things in the pool already this year that he has never done before.  He laid over the      small boogie board and kicked all of the way around the pool (I was very excited).  He swam a few strokes and has been floating on his back.  But the funniest new thing...he goes to the pump discharge (where the water is shooting in), puts the back of his head up to it and finally kicks his feet up to float and the water current moves him forward until he gets water over his face and then he jumps up.  
Cracks me up!!!
It is the beginning of the best time of the year in Bobby's World.  I'm sure that you will get sick of seeing swimming pictures.  If you need us in the evening after school, check the pool, I'm sure you'll find us there!!
