Our first swimming adventure of the summer.

I had the joy of watching Tancy's kids for her today. Her and JP went to Wisconsin to meet with his business partners.
This morning I decided to take them a couple blocks away to a school playground. I took the wagon for #3 and #4. But #4 wanted to walk like the big kids, so I let him out of the wagon and he took off!! He couldn't wait to get to the park!!

They had a little climbing wall that the kids made a bee line to!! #1 was brave enough to go over it and come back down the other way!
#2 wasn't that brave, but she at least climbed up it!!

Brother and #3 decided they wanted to cross these round doohickey things. #3 was a 1st very hesitant, but she made it across!!


Dada was off by herself playing with the bars. She liked them b/c they have the same kind at her school. I think she likes to pretend that she is a gymnast on them.






#4 was climbing the ladder. He couldn't wait to get to the slides!!









After lunch............................




We went swimming at their grandma's house! Although I was VERY relieved that #4 went to sleep.

I am so proud of Brother. Last year he was VERY hesitant in the water. He only started getting in the pool without hunny or me in the pool at the very end of the summer last year. So I was curious to see what he would do this year. But he couldn't wait to get in! He popped on his life vest and climbed down the ladder all by himself. After about a 1/2 hour he even jumped in all by himself.








#1 of course shows no fear of the water. He jumped right in and was swimming laps around all the kids! But here he is trying to get Joy and I wet. I of course wanted no part of that! :)


#3 cracks me up! I love to hear her talk. She has the sweetest voice, and you never quite know what is going to come out of her mouth. Yesterday, I had been at their house for about an hour, and we were loading the kids into the van, and #3 looks at me like she had never seen me before, and she says to me.......Your hair wooks TERRRRRIBLE!!! (she was right to!!) I cracked up laughing!!


Dada also loves the water. She has always been a little fish in the water. (She is just like her daddy when it comes to the water.) She was the 2nd one in the water and the 2nd to the last 1 out!!



Here is #2 getting ready to dive into the pool! She was so excited to put these on and get into the water.
