Barton Springs Pool

On Saturday, our family went out to Zilker Park which is home to the famous Barton Springs Pool. This pool is made from a natural spring. They basically poured some concrete, created a dam, and have a great place for people to hang out and swim. The water is around 68 degrees all year long.


It was a bit tough to get yourself to get in the water. Zach had been there before with our neighbor and kept telling people , "It's easiest if you just jump in." But he was reluctant to "just jump in" himself. :)


After a while of swimming, the kids decided that they would jump off the diving board. This is Reid mid-front flip.


And Jacob jumping up as high as he could (I didn't catch him at the peak of his jump).


Mike stayed out with Kira, but they got a visitor from time to time. :) I didn't bring my swimming suit, so I didn't get it, but it was fun to be down there with the boys watching them have fun together. And it is a beautiful park. We left the pool and went over to the playground. They have a little train you can pay to ride on, too. Reid and Zach and I threw the football and frisbee around for a while. By the end of the evening, all of us were throwing the frisbee. It was a great family outing.
