Let the complaining begin:
It's so hot already. Ugh. I mean, hot ya'll. Sweltering, humid, horrid heat. Barf. So, the Copeland Clan can be found in the pool. Or inside. No other options.
Recently, a local couple, that Garret knew growing up who moved to Gainesville to open a church there, suffered an awful tragedy when their (I believe) 2 year old son was found unresponsive in their pool. He is in the hospital, making miraculous strides with his recovery but it continues to be a long, scary road, to say the least. When we learned about it, we were just devastated. We know how quickly children can get away from you and how it takes mere minutes for tragedy to strike.
That said, we ordered an alarm for the doors, that go off a few seconds after they are opened. We also make Gavin wear a life vest anytime he's in the back yard (which he luckily tolerates!). Being renters, it's hard to justify the huge expense of a fence for the pool but obviously our children's safety is our priority. Maddie is a great swimmer, so I feel a sense of relief but I know even a good swimmer can have an accident. For now, these measures give us some peace of mind!! Looking forward to a great and SAFE Summer!
