Summer Swim

The weather today was hot and Marina wanted to go swimming. So we made arrangements with our friends Angie and Jake to swim with them. As soon as we arrived at the pool, Marina put her fin on and dove in.

At first, Jake didn't want to swim, so Marina played by herself. Angie threw her some diving toys. In the past, Marina has not liked to put her face underwater. But the diving toys seemed to inspire her. At first she tried to get them without going underwater. Eventually she was able to make small dives to get them. After a short period of time she was pulling them up from the deepest part of the pool. She was so proud of herself.

We decided to have a cook out at the pool as well. Angie made chicken and potatoes. Marina must have been hungry because she ate three pieces of chicken. As soon as she was done, we went back into the pool.

By this time, Jake was ready to swim with her. The two of them had a great time together. They played in the pool until dark. After getting out, they spent time by the fire pit to warm themselves. Despite the late hour, neither of them seemed tired.
