The best laid plans

With temperatures near 100 degrees, Mamma and Daddy thought it might be fun to take photos of twins splashing happily in a baby pool. We borrowed Anna Kay Roberts’ pool from next door and filled it with water, placing it in the shade to prevent sunburn and near the basement stairs for better ground level photography. We assembled swimsuited boys, pool toys, towels, lawn chairs and camera and headed for the backyard. Day one was a total failure. The water was too cold in the shade, and the boys wouldn’t look towards the camera because the construction equipment on the lot behind them was more interesting. On day two we enjoyed warmer water in direct sunlight and no construction activity, but still couldn’t get both boys to look at the camera.
