4th of July dip in the Pool

The early afternoon on the 4th, we headed to the Club's pool, which ended up being at least 3 different pools and a mini water (fountain) park. Reid immediately loved the outdoors and the water. He is such an outdoorsy kid. Ethan on the other hand was very tentative about going in the water: 1) because he said he was not a good swimmer (we are working on his self-confidence) and 2) he did not want to swim if there were other people in the pool. Jon & Reid jumped in the water and well Ethan had a meltdown (picture below). He crouched on the grass for about 10 minutes crying, while I & Uncle Potty took pictures of the event (nice I know). I tried to pick him up and throw him in the water, but he jumped right back out. Finally Jon got out of the water and handed me Reid (poor Reid...he was loving the water too). He took Ethan into the water. It still took Ethan a good 5 minutes to stop crying while in the water, but after that, he was having a blast. Ethan has such a funny personality. Reid eventually got back into the water with them, and the three of them enjoyed an afternoon in the pool.
