Summer is packed with sun, spontaneity, and freedom. Our family will be sad to see it go. It is almost over. I tried to ignore the fact that I need to go school shopping....that school really ISN'T just around the corner. We counted today and there are 12 days until school starts. *Insert audible sobbing here.
We went swimming with our cousins Amanda, Rachel, and Sarah at the PG pool.
Amanda and Rachel were so awesome! I actually got to sit by the side of the pool and soak in the peaceful moment while they took Weston and Bastian down the water slides. I think this was the first peaceful moment I've had at a pool since having children.
Aunt Allison got in and swam with the kids.
Abby was so brave and jumped off the diving board in the deep end. Great job, Abby! Hayden and Sarah practiced diving off the edge of the pool. Allison gave them tips on how to improve their form.
These two pictures were taken right before swimming lessons at the Provo Veterans Pool. Abby isn't pictured because she stayed the night at Aunt Jessica's house the night before and wasn't at the pool yet. Jessica's girls and my kids took swimming lessons together this year. This is our second year doing lessons together. Jessica and I got to sit by the side of the pool for a half hour Monday through Thursday for 2 weeks catching up and reminiscing. I feel so blessed to have married into such a wonderful family.
After swimming lessons the kids had fun outside running through the sprinkler and eating popsicles.
One day after swimming lessons we went to the park and played with Annebel and Shelby. This is Abby with Shelby. We love all our cousins!
Weston dropped a toy in the pool.
And his brother, Hayden, came to the rescue. What a nice brother!
Here's Hayden after his first jump in the pool. He was saying how cold the water was and what a shock it was to jump in. Then he said, "I'm going to do it again!" That's how he got the rest of us to go swimming.
