A summer weekend at the pool

After so many exciting days with friends, family, and pirates, we spent the whole next weekend lounging at the pool. On Saturday, we met up with Alex's friend Claire and her family at one of our favorite Heidelberg outdoor pools. We brought enough snacks to last us all day and our friends even had a little tent where the kids could hide from the scorching sun.

Alex can't quite swim yet (though he can go a fair length of the pool), but he loves to dive. At one point  in the water he became very excited, because he though he could see some coins at the bottom. We all encouraged him, and he did bring up 3 coins for a total of EUR 1,40! Here is proudly showing off his loot!

On Sunday, Victoria's mother and her sister took us along to a pool in Neckargmünd, a small town a few miles down the river. We lounged in the shade, sun, and water all day. Here, the friends are cuddling and warming up after a long swim.

Later, they sat in the sun and played.

The two days with new friends were relaxing and wonderful!
