Default We were invited to the YMCA pool today
Today, my wife and I and my two younger daughters went to the Ymca pool at the invitation of friends. It was a fun day although we were threatened by weather all along.....not too much sun but pretty warm anyways!

your daughter really looks hungry. swimming is probably one of those sports that will make you really crave for something to eat after you are done. nice last shot too Patrick!

What a lovely set Patrick. I know I always tell you, but you have a lovely family and Lisa is adorable. Great freeze action shot and I love the expression on her face in the second one. Gorgeous reflection in the third with the water so still and we can't forget the safety equipment! Great set from the day buddy.

Dave..

Great set and great idea.
It is really hot here today, about 35 C.
After looking at your pictures over my shoulder my two girls also wanted to join the fun.
Off we go to the local pool.

Thanks for sharing!
