Days at the POOL

I was telling a friend the other day about how busy we have been lately and that I think we are busier in the summer than during the school year. Then she asked what we were so busy doing and I thought for a minute and said, "uh, we go to the pool everyday."


About 3 or 4 times a week we try to get to the pool after class which really does make for a full day. We just love the pool. I am not quite to that glorious point in life where I can sit in a chair on the side and read a book yet, but I can relax a little here and there as the boys swim and Annabelle wanders around and occasionally sticks her feet in. Nah, she is doing much better in the water these days and is all over a kiddie pool.

Anyway, we go to the Black Mountain pool with Aunt Amie and her girls and Aunt Lorie and Kiah. The boys usually wrestle and play tag in the shallow end with Lanie there while Annabelle and Lucie play in the kiddie pool together.

This week we discovered the Canton pool and the fact that they still have a diving board. How sweet is that? When I was younger all we did at a pool was jump off the diving board over and over and over. Em and Tay, our neighbors, joined us and we all went there this week for lots of flips and dives and cannonballs. I love watching them. Caleb is the little athletic guy up there who does every jump with such grace, while Adam is really funny. I mean he is good too and can do the flips and all, but he just does every jump with such gusto that you have to chuckle every time he goes in. I even dove off it a few times myself.....talk about feeling like your ten for a few seconds again!

I put more videos of the boys jumping off the diving board on our youtube page so be sure to check them out. Just click on OUR FAMILY VIDEOS.
