Perhaps, the last of the pool...

...At least for this summer.

Matt and I returned to coastal N.C. over Labor Day weekend to spend a few days with some good friends.

When we came back home, we felt we had to take advantage of the neighborhood pool one last time before it closed for the season. As it turns out, the water was already quite cold and only the bigger kids could stay in for more than a few minutes. But there were lots of other kids there whose parents clearly had the same idea. This is Ella and her freind Ava who lives across the street. Ava's about 2 1/2 and now that Ella's talking more they are becoming fast friends. Ava has an older brother, Evan and and older sister, Anna.

This is the only swimsuit that still fits her. I guess it's a good thing things are turning cooler.
