Summer fun is winding down ...

We took the kids to the pool last night for what I fear will be one of our last trips to this pool this summer. Seriously ... how does one make time stand still? I could use a little bit of that.
Addison has become so content in the pool ... she just floats around in her little raft and does her thing.



Payton is ... umm ... a fish. A whale. A dolphin. She is in love with the water. She would jump off the side of the pool all day long if there were someone to catch her. She also is doing so good with learning to swim ... she kicks her legs and moves her arms exactly the right way.


Mason has come a long way this summer in the pool. He did well last year with his little arm floaties, but this year he has not had to use them at all. He has almost mastered his swim and we are so proud of him for that! He is finally tall enough to touch in most areas of our local pool ... thank God. I seriously can only take so much of that big lug hanging on me ... it is enough to drown me!

  7. Wow, gorgeous shots, Bethany. I'm sad about summer being almost over, too. I feel like there was so much more to do. That's so great that Payton is such a little water bug! Samantha loves the water, but the minute her face touches it, she starts choking. Gotta work on that... :-)
