Pool Pouty

One of the reasons the hubs and I bought the house we did was because of the backyard pool. We figured that having us as parents could be a real limiting factor for our children's popularity and coolness. Having a pool though, that automatically makes you a little cooler, and I'm not going to lie, Colbie may already have made some friends based on the possibilities of summer pool parties. We are also aware of the fact that Colbie already stands a better chance at being cool solely on the fact that she does not share our dorky genes.

Anypool, where am I going with this?

Well, this past weekend we stayed at a hotel that happened to have an indoor pool. We thought it would be a good idea to introduce her to swimming so this summer she would be ready to go. Then this happened:

Needless to say, it didn't go very well. It is also important to note that Colbie boycotted naps while on this trip, so she was overly tired to say the least.

It did get better though, at least a little bit.

I figure, even if she doesn't end up liking to swim, she can still hang out by the pool in one of her many bathing suits while entertaining her friends. Because seriously, does it get any cuter than this?

For the record, those are in fact the world's cutest chicken legs!!! Oh, and no, we did not even think about how D.B. and I would look even pastier white than before once we became a transracial family.
