Enjoying the sun

We have really enjoyed the sunshine this week.  It seems we went from early spring to midsummer overnight.  Our pool has gone from 63 degrees to 70 degrees in one week.  Ali has gone in for a minute to staying in today for quite sometime swimming around.  We went to my friend, Karen's, yesterday.  Her pool is much warmer than ours and has steps going into the pool.  This was just what Ali needed to get over her fear of the water.  After a few short swims in Karen's pool, Ali was swimming around with all her friends and jumping in the pool without any fear.  She is still a little hesitant about getting dive sticks this year but did manage to get two today.  I'm sure after a couple more weeks she will see it as an easy thing to do.  Sofia, who couldn't get dive sticks last year, is swimming around the bottom of the pool picking up multiple dive sticks in one go.  Jason and I even had fun with the dive sticks today and competed against each other while the kids watched.  It has been a fun week.  The weather is suppose to cool off a bit for the next week but I'm hoping the cooling won't last long.
