Austin got a chance to go swimming last weekend. The pool is a shared one in our family housing. The sun was out most of the day but it was still pretty cool outside for swimming. Some of the moms were topping the pool up with boiling water from their kettles so the water was nice and warm. By the time Austin finished swimming his lips were shivering a bit. He had a great time, though.

At first he wanted to get in and out over and over to chase the ball that kept getting thrown out of the pool. He got more comfortable being in the pool with the other kids and was splashing around and making as much noise as he could.
