Weekend Pool Days


When we lived in Chiang Mai, we used to go to the gym and swimming pool every weekend. It was such a nice respite to workout by lifting some weights, playing some squash and spending a couple hours at the poolside swimming and reading.

The sandy bottom pool here in Phu My Hung brings me back to that time. It has a full length pool, but a section for kids that is about 6 inches deep and has sand on the bottom. For a two dollar day pass, it's the best money I spend on the weekend.

Ava likes to play with her toys there. We usually take her bucket full of sand toys, plastic molds and so on. Kids that are not as well equipped try to take off with her toys!

Last weekend, Ava made a big leap (literally) in her swimming savy. She had the confidence to jump into daddy's arms who was sitting in the pool. She then turned around and could hold herself up on the side of the pool. We are working on blowing bubbles, but she likes to drink the chlorinated water rather than blow bubbles in it, which may explain her diarrhea Saturday evening.
