Summer swimming

What is summer without a little swimming. Rebekah is getting better at swimming, which makes my life easier with three kids in the pool. The girls both took lessons at our county pool. We swam there and at Grandma and Grandpa's this summer.








At the begginning of the summer Marcus ran screaming when I opened the pool cover. Now he stands by the side willing to let me hold him in the water. We went to a lake front yesterday and he even voluntarily went in the water by himself. I hope we can keep it up through the winter so it isn't so hard for him next year.


some of my best summer memories are of swimming for hours on end while my mom sat near reading and my siblings and I played games and did "tricks" in the pool. This year I finally saw a little of that as my girls are getting more comfortable in the water.
