Summer Swimming

After helping a member in our ward move into their home, I was hot and sweaty. I was going to jump in the shower, but decided that before doing that I should cool off in the neighborhood pool. So we ate a quick lunch and got the girls and Luke into the swim gear and headed down to the pool. We left Terrah to her own devices while we had fun in the sun (with a little cloud cover).

There were some friends that were at the pool when we arrived so Cora and Violet were occupied playing with them while I let Luke jump into the pool over and over and over. We got to the point that I didn't even need to catch Luke when he jumped. He would jump in and fully submerge and come out laughing. He is such a little fish.
After the friends left, I taught Cora and Violet the game Marco Polo. Violet needs some work on when to say Marco when she is it, but they loved it. They even played it with each other while I sat out and warmed Luke up.
So one of the best swim gear purchases we have made (besides swim suits...yeah that has to be the best purchase :)) are these floaties. Amazing, Violet can now swim around by herself really confidently. And Luke can float on his own as well...we don't have to worry about his head going underwater and he can lie down on his back. It has made swimming with 3 kids fun and not drowning with frustrations.

Another highlight was Cora showing off her new trick.

Warning: I do not condone the running around swimming pools
