When Danny and I contemplated moving back to Utah from California, we often thought of lazy summer days by the pool. Well, moving in the middle of November didn't exactly afford us that opportunity at first. But finally summer arrived! During the first week of June, Papa opened the pool for the first swim party of 2012! And a party it was...
Uncle David, Aunt Millie, and Ruby joined us for the afternoon, and the kids had a blast. Luckily for me, Millie brought her camera and was kind enough to send me a few pics of the afternoon's fun. Thanks, Millie!
We got these cool water wing vests at Costco this year, and they are fantastic! Even though they totally stay afloat, Claire and Johnny wouldn't leave the stairs.
Sophie, on the other hand, was a little fish! Surprised much? :)
This was also Luke's first time at Grandma and Papa's pool, and he was so completely overcome with unmitigated excitement that he fell right asleep. And stayed that way. :)
Just a week or so after the inaugural swimming party, we decided to introduce our kids to the joys of running through the sprinklers. I remember running through the sprinklers almost more than I remember swimming as a kid. So much fun! We invited Uncle David, Aunt Millie, and Ruby to join us for a delicious dinner of BBQ Chicken Legs and Mac&Cheese and enjoyed the summer evening.
On a side note, Sophie and Johnny got sunglasses to match Claire's cool shades she got from Grandma Candy for her birthday. Our kids' futures are so bright, they have to wear shades... :)
The kids were skiddish around the water at first, but eventually warmed up to it. Well, Sophie warmed up to it. It took a few more sprinkler experiences before Claire and Johnny were very into it.
I'm pleased to announce that Claire, Sophie, and Johnny are all now sprinkler pros. :) Gotta love summer!!
