The kids' favorite thing to do in the summer is swim. Our friends' down the street went out of town for a week and gave us a key to their house. It was the perfect way to start our summer vacation. We spent five straight days in the pool, took a one day break, and then we were back in the pool. On a couple of those days, we were there for about five hours which included a poolside dinner.
I grew up in our backyard pool and spent my summers swimming in it. I loved watching the girls play together and doing similar things that my sister and I did.
Kyle got used to being in the pool without a floatie. Hopefully next summer, he'll learn how to swim.
Makena took her beloved life vest off and started swimming instantly. A week in a pool by ourselves has been the perfect time for her to strengthen her skills. Makena doesn't like it when I take pictures of her, so she'll stick out her tongue or make a silly face. It doesn't bother me. I still take pictures of her!
Karis, on the other hand, loves when I take pictures of her.
This guy is hit or miss with pictures. Today was a good day!
When Daddy joins us, he jumps off the diving board with the kids. Or in this case, gets pushed off.
The girls love when Daddy throws them across the pool. Kyle likes when Daddy catches him at the bottom of the slide.
Daddy may have let him go under to get him used to it. He's still working on that.
