The camp pool gets scrubbed and repainted every three years or so, and this is the first year we've been around for it. There is a point where the shallow end is about half a foot deep, and the water is perfect wading level...but only for a couple days. We took the opportunity of a not-too-busy day and a bright sun to go in.
The bathing suits.
Lucy had to have her hat most of the time. She tried to throw it in over and over, but I managed to keep it mostly dry.
The farther from the steps you go, the deeper it is. Still, it never got too deep for Bowden to walk in.
Lucy went in happily right away, and walked like she was on dry ground, and promptly fell down- I didn't let her go under, but it was enough to keep her holding my hand for the majority of the time.

Bowden just splashed himself, and found it good.

Lucy camped out on the stairs a lot, too.

She got a little braver when witnessing the fun her brother was having, and by the end would carefully walk to get the ball she had tossed down the stairs.

Once we were done we had to take the obligatory sun-bathe to warm up.
Lucy pretends to sleep, then shoots up- "I wake up!!"
It is, oh, so amusing.
