We spent our time this weekend playing at the pool. It is a great pool! There a about six lanes for lap swimming which is used in the morning by some of the ladies here. In the afternoon the kids have swimming lessons as part of school. There is also a shallow wading pool for the little ones here on site. There is good shade for anyone not looking to cook in the intense sun. The kids spent their time practicing diving (that is Bailey lower to the water getting ready), lounging (Carter gets cold quickly here, thank goodness he warms back up just at quickly) and playing water games.
Besides all the swimming, there is also hunting for little critters, both in and out of the water. Yesterday it was a grasshopper. Regan found it swimming in the water, Carter got it out. Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of Carter and the grasshopper. After all his hard work of keeping it out of the pool it later got eaten by a lizard...The circle of life. He also had a dead frog from the pool yesterday. As he was carrying it, belly up I thought he was gonna start chest compressions and breathing for the poor little thing. The vision still makes me chuckle. But today he got this little frog before it was too late. Thank goodness for that!
As I was asking Bai what she thinks of living here so far, she said it felt like vacation. I am thinking she is right. And it looks like it too.
