Summer!

It wouldn't be summer without swimming... right! Aren't these two just so darling in there little suits? Admit it... they are!  The kids love swimming and we have done plenty of it so far this summer, and I'm sure there will be plenty more before the hot weather subsides.

 

Aryah is getting pretty good at maneuvering around in the pool in her life jacket but frequently ends up unintentionally floating on her back when she looses her footing. She isn't a fan of that. Victoria is learning to swim really well but still not well enough to go solo, so most of the time she wears a life jacket too. She thinks she can do anything when she is wearing it so we have to keep a close eye on her. She is such a dare devil!!! If you don't believe me rewatch the video from our boat trip! Mason was so proud of himself this year because he passed the swim test at the YMCA and can go down the slide by himself! He didn't think he could do it so he was so surprised and proud when he did! It's so fun to watch them accomplish something and witness there reactions. It's one of the best parts of parenthood.
