Trying out the underwater camera in the heated pool

We were finally able to heat the pool this weekend. Everyone enjoyed playing in the warm water. I loved sitting in the hot spa. I let the kids play with the underwater camera I bought last summer to use in the pool. Dan had to take a turn playing with it and shot this video.

Here’s some of my favorites from the over 200 pictures they took.

First Time in the Pool

The cold water temperatures didn’t stop the kids from jumping in the pool as soon as they pool guy told them they could dive in. They had a lot of fun exploring all the places they could jump off of and swimming all around the pool. I’m waiting till we can turn on the heater before I get in.
