My little fish...

We finally found a great floaty for Hailey to use so we don’t have to hold onto her the entire time. (Ok, so it took us several tries and the WHOLE summer to figure this out)

I don’t know about your little ones, but mine would live in the pool or at the beach if she could. She is VERY insistent about going daily… I don’t know what we’re going to do in a couple weeks when they close the pools down. (The indoor pool just isn’t the same, but I guess it’s gonna have to work)

Anyways, back to our summer long floaty tryouts. We tried rings, water wings, floaty bathing suits and finally the Puddle Jumpers. This thing is ingenious.  I hadn’t heard of them before, but last week we took the kids to White Water (our local water park) and I saw all kinds of toddlers with them on. (I actually stopped a couple moms and asked them about them)

If you don’t know what they are…they are arm floaties (water wings) that are attached to a float that goes around their chest and it then buckles in the back. These things are super easy to put on and comfortable for the kids. They are also approved by the US Coast Guard for use as a flotation device for boats, etc.

Some parting pics of my little maniac running around White Water. Not exactly easy to take pics and keep her right there...

 

We had a long, fun day but the girls were whooped...can ya tell?

I had to add a pic of Hailey in her Puddle Jumper:
