Fun in the Sun

The temperature is rising here in Dallas so it’s time to bring out the water!

The kids had a blast using the water table and hose for the first time the other day!

Today was a HOT, 95 degrees at 4:00 pm so we went to the pool for the first time this season!

I’m a bit concerned about what I’m going to do with Caleb when I take them on my own to the pool with friends during the week.  He was jumping in without warning, or wanted to walk a few feet away and then just right off the edge.  Maybe after a few fall-ins he’ll learn he has to wait until I’m ready for him!

My little fishies have improved SO much over last summer!  They have been having swimming lessons for the past 6 weeks or so.  We go twice a week to a semi-private lesson and they have gone from being scared of the water and not wanting to go under, to jumping in to swim to us without warning!  (Another thing we must work on – make sure Mom or Dad acknowledges you before you jump in!)

Adam was all over the area where he knew he could touch and no longer needs us to be right by him!

There will be much more swimming this summer than there was last summer.  They are begging to go back!  Good thing we have swimming playgroups set up 3 times a week if we want!  They need to get their fill before August, since sadly, Baby Sister is going to put a damper on pool time!
