pool time!

One of my goals for my kids is that they would be strong swimmers. I have never been a strong swimmer myself and water still always makes me a bit nervous. I can swim enough to save my life but I'd rather not jump off diving boards! It all goes back to third grade when a mean kid dunked and held me under at the pool. So to fulfill this goal for my kids, we will be spending summers at the pool! This summer has been no exception- although since Jace has been born- it has mostly been Mark and Addelyn hitting the pool. This week was the first time for Jace and I to venture out to the pool since he has arrived. In the picture above, you can see some of our summer "pool crew!" We love to go to the pool and see our friends there. Of course, the kids weren't excited about this pic- it was right before we were all leaving.

I love these kiddos! I had to laugh at these poses as they got ready to go swimming. Addelyn was so proud to sit next to her brother for his "first swimming suit picture."
