Enjoying Summer



Who needs weights?
This is a great way to strengthen your legs and have fun at the same time.
The kids love it. A little too much.


Summer is running around in a Onesie for this little guy.

I feel like we have hardly been to the pool this summer!
The pools don't open until 1 pm which is when Max takes his nap.
By the time we are ready to go at 3:30 it is cloudy and windy most days.

"Woosh. Jump in water. Like this."

This was the first time this season that Karl came to the pool with us.
So I wanted to catch the boys water action on film.
After one little video, a lifeguard comes and tells us
that we are not allowed to use a camera.
Lame.

Here is Max jumping in and actually standing up all by himself.
He can usually do better than this though.



Last week we went to a private pool with a diving board.
It was awesome.
Until Noah and Max decided to jump off the board
into the deep end
at the same time.
Fortunately, I was pretty close and was able to scoop both of them up.
But it sure isn't easy to tread water
while holding two boys above the water.
Karl came to the rescue to save all of us from drowning.

Yep, you guessed it.
After we were all safe and sound,
Max and Noah skedaddled right back to the jumping board
and dove in again.
This time we were ready.

Happy summer!

I am very impressed with Max's jumping in and being able to recover on his own! And your mad water treading skills :)

Lame that the pool doesn't open until 1. Also really lame that they said no pictures. Huh?

My Aunt was always a bit sad that her kids were afraid of the water until she saw my mom having to deal with us. She decided a little fear was healthy and easier on a parent as she never had to rescue any of her kids. I say, bring it on!

Max ist so witzig!! Echt null Angst vor dem Wasser. Lynn krabbelt auch immer ins tiefere Wasser und ich muss sie retten, weil sie von alleine nicht umkehrt.
