After mowing the lawn yesterday Chris decided he wanted to go swimming. I knew nothing of this plan until Seth came out in his swim trunks. Of course after Kyle and Caleb found out they wanted to go too so off they went to change their clothes. This I had to see. The water had to be 68º or less, which is way too cold in my opinion. Really anything under 85º is too cold for me but hey, whatever floats your boat.
Kyle and Caleb were the first ones in. As soon as they put their feet in I knew it was cold but that didn't stop them. They started on the first step and slowly moved their way down until they on the third step down. Chris came out and took a running start and jumped right in. The look on his face was priceless! He looked so cold but he didn't get out. Seth was losing his nerve but Chris finally persuaded him to jump in. He looked terrified and got out right away but he did get back in a couple more times. Bruce didn't want to miss out on the action so he kept bringing his ball and dropping in the pool so someone would throw it for him. At least he wasn't crazy enough to go in.
Is it a little cold? 
All in all they probably stayed in the pool for about 20 minutes. You'd never catch me in there this time of the year. I usually only swim in July and August but I guess if most of the family is willing to swim nine months out of the year then it's worth having a pool.
