Swimming

In the many months prior to our trip, Michael and I discussed how great it would be to have the kids be able to swim on their own this year. We envisioned them playing in the pool while we sat on chairs enjoying books and the sun. In general, our dream came true and the kids played with each other and other kids quite a lot. They did need help going to and from the bathroom which happened a lot and every so often one of them, feeling shy, would need our help going to the hot pool where a bunch of adults were hanging out. Michael was a good sport tossing them about, swimming in the deep end with them and doing many bathroom escorts.
