An After School Dip in the Pool

My pretty little girl all ready to swim!


Kamryn was pretty tame today in the pool.  This was her first time swimming since last summer and still needs to get her gills wet.  However, by time we left she was jumping in from the side of the pool...with a little encouragement from Amayah...I don't know what I would do without her....she is such a help with the kids!!

This is as brave as Craig got..the rest of the time was spent clinging to my neck and me trying to keep my top on!  Nothing says "thank you for letting us swim in your pool" like my son flashing our neighbor!



Craig told Amayah he couldn't jump in because it was too big in the pool and he was just a little boy!  Really?!!?  


Kamryn even tried to get Craig in the pool but he felt much more comfortable on the top step!


Craig said he wanted to watch the girls swim..he did eventually play on the steps some before we  left...without the water wings


Craig also acted as the pool/cabana boy


Mr Noodle-O


Isabel was a dare devil with NO fear in the pool!!


Crazy jumps off the diving board...



Back flips......

Front flips.....


And even a under water contest with Kamryn!



Mandy even joined in on the pool fun and attempted to ride the blow-up jet ski... at least for a few seconds before she was bucked off!!


 Isabel and Abigail tried to follow in their mom's footprints.....

...and succeeded!!  I think they may have last a few seconds longer though!




Abigail swam all over the pool with her floaty...


..even jumped off the diving board a few times!
  

Amayah had such a long and stressful day she needed some R&R!!


After her rest she started flipin' out.....


Jumping off things......


Man she is hard to handle some times....lol!!


Overall it was a great after school break for the kids.  I was even able to get a little sun!!! Can't wait for summer and more evenings like this! I have some wonderful neighbors!!

Kamryn's first two wheel adventure



 

Kamryn decided that she was too old to be using her training wheels.  She told Casey that she saw a boy smaller than Craig riding without training wheels and he needed to take off hers!  Of course Craig also had to have his training wheels taken off...now he won't ride his bike at all!


I am so proud of Kamryn, often she comes off timid and scared to try new things, but not with this...when she said she was gonna ride on two wheels she meant it and did it all by herself within 15 minutes!





Craig LOVES his scooter!


And...his Daddy!


Here is one of the videos of Kamryn's success!!
