Pool Time

We had an opportunity to get together with our friends, the Weltes, a few weeks ago and soak in some pool time.  It was nice to visit and to do it in a place where we could all stay cool!

Our four fish love the water.

We also got invited to go celebrate cousin Zander's 4th birthday at a private pool party.  He's just a few months older than Zayden and they remind me a lot of each other (yes, actually 3 of us within the extended family had boys all the same year and named them Z names...Zander, Zane, and Zayden - we like to confuse people).

Headed to the party with this cool kid.

All of our children but one chose to try the diving board.

This brave daredevil both amazes and terrifies me.

Mia did a lot of floating and kicking around.  She did get to the edge of the diving board one time before she turned around and changed her mind.  That's okay, kid.  You be you.

The kids also got some water time in with the Sniders this summer, but I didn't take a single picture (too busy running my mouth).  When we stayed in Columbia, Mike and Kea took them to the pool, too, but I was beat and opted out - thus no pictures of that adventure either.

Thanks to our friends and family members who have invited us to splash around.  The Beelers love to swim and we are so thankful that this year swimming does not equal a UTI or kidney infection for our Mia (last year it was a sure bet).  That makes it all the more joyful!
