Swim Fun

With temperatures reaching 106 degrees and a lack of backseat airconditioning, we thought the babies could use a dip in Grammy's pool.

Last summer Macy loved to swim.

This year not so much. She enjoyed two hours of scooting around the pool and dipping her toes and fingers in the water. Eventually, in her own time, she decided to get in. Since she was still unsure, Clinton held her close and gave her multiple piggy-back rides. She warmed up to these instantly and loved feeling the water move through her fingers.

Grammy's dog, Dash, loves to retrieve anything. This caused Macy to squeal (actually scream) with delight everytime Dash jumped into the pool after his ball, or the pool brush, or ... By the end of the day Macy's diaper was full of pool water and her swimsuit near ruin from scooting. But, what a fun way to cool off.

Owen eventually awoke and entered the cool waters for the first time and loved it. Being that he is only two months old, he couldn't do much. Nevertheless, he kicked and "coo"ed. Perhaps he will be the fish of the family.

Summer is only beginning...
