my favorite part of summer....

SWIMMING of course! Even though at times the heat can be unbearable and monotonous when you have two small children, nothing beats being able to go swimming on your days off work! It is guaranteed to cool you off and provides hours of entertainment for the whole family. We love not only LOVE having a community pool to swim in, but also many friends and family that open up their pools to us to come cool off in as well. My parents have been AWESOME about letting us come over and swim at their pool in Gilbert. We have gone at least once a week to their house for the past month and have enjoyed every minute of it. We not only get access to an amazing pool, but I can generally persuade someone else to join me in the pool with the kiddos! A definite bonus! Several weeks ago we went over to my parents on a beautiful Saturday afternoon and had a barbeque with the whole family. Robby and Madison love to bring cups to the pool and they will sit on the top step and dump water on each other and laugh like crazy!
My mom is always such a good sport. When Maddie tells her to get her swimsuit and go swimming she will gladly change and hop in the pool with us.


Funny picture that Jesse snapped of me. He was the official camera-man for the day
Maddie wanted to know what this shooting water was...so what did my Mom tell her? That it was a "little fountain" of course. As soon as Maddie heard this she proceeded to squat down and take a little sip of the water. Kind of gross to think of her drinking from a drip line, but what do you do?! The good thing is she hasn't managed to catch some crazy disease from this little adventure.

  2. Swimming is the best! Especially when it's someone else's pool that you don't have to keep up.
    So where did you end up taking your pics???
