Cooling Off

It's been what seems like several weeks of pretty hot weather over here in SoCal. This desert dry heat in the valley where we live is enough to make me long for some East Coast humidity.

I thought Ella could use some relief last week, so I filled up her little pool a couple times. Up to then, she had only enjoyed the pool from outside while just reaching her hands in to splash the water a bit. It didn't take much coaxing, however, to help her notice the fun of "swimming" on a hot summer day.
The biggest feat was simply getting this pool blown up! Whew! Ella kept trying to rip my mouth off the nozzle as I was putting air in it. It was worth it though, as you can see. I was only wishing there was an adult sized pool next to it!
