Swimming and Fun

We spent some time with friends over the weekend. It was great to see them of course, but the kids seemed most pleased with their swimming pool! Nate's become a pretty good swimmer and can make it from one side to another. He even finally mastered the cannonball! Here he is in his cool swim goggles as he prepares to dive down below the surface again.


Sean spent some time in the pool too, although he's not one to like getting his picture taken. This was about the best we could manage. He still wouldn't look at the camera but it's a nice profile nonetheless.


They also spent a lot of time playing with the toys in the backyard. This was a little crocodile teeter-totter they enjoyed in particular.

Summertime Splash

We're visiting with grandma and papa (the kids' maternal grandparents) this week. First thing's first, Sean and Nate wanted to jump in the hot tub for some splashing and playtime. Sean was doing his best to catch any fish that might wander into the tub so he could pull it in with his rod and reel. Fortunately, no real fish, just little plastic ones floating along the surface.


Anyone who ever met Nate knows he makes relaxing an art form. He's perfectly content to rest on one of the seats built into the tub. You'll never meet anyone else who works so hard to do nothing.
