Playing in the Pool





Last weekend we went to Grandma's house to go swimming. It's been so hot here and sometimes our fan in the living room just isn't enough to cool us down.
Evan usually just puts on his floaties and sits on the steps. He's terribly afraid of going in the water where his feet don't touch. Even when Ron goes into the pool and holds him, he still freaks out. Well this weekend Ron grabbed hold of Evan's hands and guided him away from the wall of the pool so he couldn't hold on. He was nervous for a second and then shouted, "I'm swimming!" It was a great big deal for him. We're so proud he finally got over being scared.

Ron was cleaning Grandma's patio and found the snorkeling mask that Auntie and Uncle bought last summer and threw it into the pool. Well, Seth thought that was very cool and decided that he needed to go snorkeling. After playing for awhile he told me that we need to do that in the ocean so we could see fish. Think he'll have to do that with Daddy!

Auntie Jenny and Jacob came swimming with us. Jacob loves the water!
