This weekend we took the pirate ship to the pool (one of Ben's birthday presents), the boys didn't play with it as much as we'd expected, instead, the bigger kids at the pool were almost fighting over who would ride on it - it actually lasted 1 1/2 trips to the pool, which was more than we expected.



Within the last couple of weeks, after much persuasion, Jonathan now loves the pool, he know when we arrive he gets to eat a snack (we normally arrive immediately after he has woken up from his nap), then he puts his swim suit on and goes in the water.



Ben is still our water boy, we have to almost drag him out of the pool. When it's time to leave we give him a 5 minute warning, which usually ends up being closer to 10 minutes, and even then he slowly makes his way out of the pool, moaning and groaning the whole time about how he really wants to stay just another 5 minutes.
