We LOVE our pool!!!









So we are so very thankful for the pools at the Y!!! We spent the afternoon on Saturday at the pool with Daddy and had a blast!!! Josiah is becoming quite the swimmer and can now swim all the way across the pool on his own!! He's working on building his endurance to be able to do the whole length of the pool - then he'll be allowed to take the swim test and go down the huge, yellow slide! It won't be long I'm sure!! Both boys enjoyed diving for Spiderman and having Daddy throw them up in the air. He also did this trick where he propelled them under water and said he was shooting them like a bullet. I wish he had called it something else because the rest of the afternoon, Jacob was asking David to shoot his gun!! Oh well - it was a blast! Josiah's newest trick of the day was learning how to do a backwards flip under the water, and Jacob decided he liked wearing the goggles because it made things "closer". (Hmmm.) Anyways, they got to end the day with an ice cream cone to celebrate their new skills!!

Yay Josiah! He is a good swimmer! I was so impressed when we saw him when we were with you! You must be SO proud. I'd love to see the bullet trick! Cute googles on Jacob and so glad you treated them to ice cream! You did a good job making memories before Daddy left! You get an A+ for being a great mom! :)

I wondered what Josiah was doing in that picture! I ahve seen the feat of him swiming with head under the water and all-congrats Josiah. To love the water and be comfortable in it is a blessing. Here's to many more great memories at the local YMCA!
