Maks loves the water and is happiest when he's being thrown in the air by his daddy or doggie paddling from one end of the pool to the other (see below for videos).
And, speaking of doggie paddling - we were sure to bring Kira for an end of the season doggie dip! She was quite the retriever, bringing back each and every single ball she could find the the pool area.
Occasional trips to the baby pool were taken so that she could rest up a bit. However, we quickly learned that we were needlessly worrying about her stamina; she never seemed to run out of energy.
Kira thoroughly enjoys splashing in the pool, but she's not a fan of jumping directly into the water if it's deep. Instead, our playful girl will run around the perimeter of the pool to the shallow end, jump in (actually, she's more inclined to bound down the stairs) and swim the entire length of the pool to fetch her ball. Thank goodness for the 4 year old girl who was able to get Kira to jump in the deep end effortlessly. We'd been trying for hours to no avail.
Although the pools are now closed for the year - which seems silly to this Midwestern girl since it's still consistently above 90 degrees - we have our backyard pools (yes, one for Maks and one for Kira) that are still open for business.
