A day at the pool

Today we went and spent the day with our dear friends Matt and Laura. We had a blast! We walked to another apartment complex near their house that has a pool and went swimming. The bonus about this pool is that it has a slide! My kids loved it, including Layla who after one time down the slide was fearless and went down many more times all by herself! It was so fun spending the day with them. This family used to live with us in our old city so we are so glad to be close to them again.

 

 

 

 

Fun with Water!

The kids beg me everyday to go swimming. I have discovered that is a lot of work to take three kids to the pool by myself. Kayleigh is becoming quite the swimmer and wants to always be in the "deep" water. I can't handle three in the deep by myself so we just stick to the the kid pool when we go which makes Kayleigh sad. Also, going to the pool in the afternoon and having time to make dinner has become quite tricky. So I have decided that we will only go to the pool when I am not making dinner that night. Today the kids were begging to go to the pool again and I knew that it just wasn't in the plans for the day. However, I had this idea that I could just take them down stairs and give them a bucket of water and some water guns and let them go at it. They loved it and I didn't worry about scanning the pool the whole time to make sure no one was drowning!

 

 

 

Happy July 4th!

We had a great 4th of July! Our friends Alan and Shannon have an apartment with roof access. We grilled out with some friends and the kids spent the entire time jumping on their trampoline. This city isn't known for it's sunny weather but today it was a beautiful sunny day!
