Summer Fun

Swimming









Took the boys swimming for the first time in a big pool. Ian enjoyed every minute of it by lounging around, taking in the sights around him, and kicking his legs. Carter on the other hand was not so sure about the whole thing which didn't surprise me. I can't even get him to lay down in the bathtub to save my life. Occasionally he would let me pull him away and he would kick his legs or we would chase after a ball but that was the extent of it. We have been swimming a few times since and he has lightened up a little bit but not much.

Playing at the Splash Pad. We have gone to a few of the different splash pads around the valley just to change things up and get out of the house.

 

We got a little pool for the boys to play in and all three of them love it! Jake complains that it is a little too small but at least they can all go outside without roasting to death. 

I've decided that my dad has gotten soft in his old age because never in a million years would he have let us kids run around in the irrigation. Here Carter is having a blast playing in the water. In the first picture he is bent over with his forehead in the water. He was also having a ball chasing the birds out of the yard.

Here is Carter playing with the hose after I was finished watering the garden.
