First Time Swimming in a Big Pool
















Okay, so I'm way behind on posting with all the happenings in our family this past week so bare with me as I play catch up.

On Saturday we drove to Muskegon again for a family reunion. The kids did great and slept a good chunk of the time. We had a blast while there, but I have to say that the highlight of the trip was taking the kids swimming in Shelly's pool. This was the first time the kids had been in a swimming pool, besides their kiddie pool. They were hesitant at first, but the really enjoyed it...and mommy and daddy too. I just wish we could take the kids swimming more often. Maddie surprised us that she could actually swim. She has been laying in the tub and kiddie pool and kicking her legs and paddling with her arms, but we never expected it in the big pool. I think she swam the width of the pool 6 or 8 times before she became too tired to do it anymore. We'd get to one side and she'd push off to go again. At first I put my hand under her belly, but after a few times I didn't even need to do that. This was certainly motivation to get them in swim lessons...we kinda fell of the wagon in getting the scheduled...oops....:)

We stayed the night with Kris and Dan..thanks for letting us stay. The kids enjoyed running the length of your porch and of course playing with Elliott and Precious...and their toys. :) Can't wait to see everyone again!
