Splish Splash, Here's a big bath

One of our favorite family activities is to head to the swimming pool here at the villa we are staying in. It's about an 8 minute walk.

It's cold in Shanghai. On the walk to the pool today, the sun was shining brightly but the kids had on their mittens and their winter coat hoods were pulled up. Fortunately, the pool water is nice and warm.

Anna is excited to do swimming lessons this year. We plan to sign her up once we move in to the permanent housing at BelleWood. They offer lessons at their pool.

Here is some video of the pool fun.

PS - I know that Aimee's mentioned about the cleaning "ladies" that come in to clean our apartment 3 days a week. Today, I secretly videotaped them doing their routine. They do a fine job, don't you think?
