Ah, Summer!

The kids and I spent most of Saturday swimming at my parents' house. Poor Rob was umpiring softball tournaments out in the heat all day long while we were lounging in the pool.


Erin is a pretty good swimmer. She's getting better at swimming underwater & really likes to do somersaults. She went off the diving board about a million times, and she even let me throw her in a couple of times.


Robbie did really well with just the arm floaties again. We were out there a few hours, and I think his little legs were kicking the whole time! (Except for when he got on the raft - then he closes his eyes and is perfectly still) He'll swim the length of the pool and get himself in and out. Hopefully he'll do well at the beginning of next summer, so we can work on doing it without the floaties!

It was a perfect day to be in the pool, and we had fun visiting with my parents. Pizza for lunch and Mexican food for dinner - my favorites! The kids were properly worn out, and we all slept really well!

I love how swimming just wears the kids out! nothing like coming home to get the kids in bed and then the work starts getting everything cleaned up and...why is it that we just can't get worn out and sleep?
