Summertime Fun

Becky and I took our kids to a friend's swimming pool today. Ann has offered the use of her pool every summer but this is the first time we decided to take her up on it and am I glad we decided to today because it was H-O-T hot! The kids had a blast too.

Ariel was brave and got a running start off the diving board

Beautifully executed!

Noah's first leaps into the pool

Noah and Lily both love the water and they seem to get braver every time they are in a pool. Today they both jumped in from the side and from the diving board. Of course, they were wearing floaties and they jumped into waiting arms but I still think it's pretty cool that they did it. Noah starts swimming lessons next week so hopefully he will learn to feel safe in the water without the mask and floaties.

Has Noah had his swimming lesson yet? If so, did he like it?
