Splish splash

It has been pretty hot around here.

It's like it's summer or something?

We spend a lot of time down at the pool.

The kids swimming skills have improved quite a bit this summer.


Wyatt and Lorien dive down to the deep end of the pool all the time.  Lorien can even swim without her goggles--a feat that was deemed "impossible" last summer.


Clare can swim in the deep end of the pool now--even with her face in the water!  Clare also jumps off the edge of the pool into the deep end and will let Daddy launch her into the pool.



Colter really only tolerates our trips to the pool.  He would rather be running around outside than be in the pool.  He hates his floaty.  You should see the ridged poses he strikes in order to keep us from putting him in the floaty.




Here is a little video to show off Adell's swimming.  She will come up from the water, choking, sputtering and 1/2 dead only to gasp out the phrase "I wanna do that again!".   We are always very close at hand--even if she is trying to push us away.
