Twice last week we had the opportunity to go to the pool in our

friends' Wendy, Chris, and Vincent's neighborhood. It's a fantastic place with both a great big pool and a kiddie pool; the latter Zach will no longer have anything to do with. We had a great time, despite the rain and tornado sirens on our first visit. :)

^ Squirt gun fight! And Scott and Chris playing the usual football-catching game.
As you may remember, over the winter Scott taught Zach to swim; he was even willing to jump into the water by himself and then swim to Scott. I discovered earlier this summer when I took

Zach to the pool that he did not want to swim without his "shark" - a flotation device that allows him to swim freely on his own (I highly recommend these; see the picture of Vincent above). Apparently those couple months without access to a pool undermined Zach's confidence in the water. So after two separate outings to the pool, with lots of coaxing and ultimately a bribe... we finally got video of Zach swimming!
