Summer Swimming

Living in Texas = tons of swimming!! Since we moved, our neighborhood has a really nice pool that we have been able to use. It has been so nice to just be able to walk there whenever we want and know that we will be the only ones there and it won't be crowded and the kids can just play and have fun. It has a little baby pool with a shade thing covering it and fountains. It is just so fun and nice. Here are a few pics of us enjoying our time at the pool!
Camden is getting brave and starting to crawl around in the water. He just can't sit still and is all boy. He will crawl right into the water and stick his face in and then come up with this huge smile and do it again. It makes me laugh every time. He loves the water and loves to splash and play with the toys and the fountains. 
 Here is his cute little wet face. Right after dunking his head in.
 When Geoff comes with us, the girls love it. He is able to play with them and swim with them. Something that is just to hard for me to do because of Camden. I have to be holding him or watching him at all times, so I don't have that extra set of hands to be able to jump and play. Here is Addie jumping in to Geoff. One benefit of not having Geoff here every time is that the girls have gotten really brave and will jump in alone and swim alone and have gotten really good in the water. It amazes me how well Macie swims at such a young age.
 The last time we were there as a family, Geoff and Macie had a cannonball competition. Addie was the counter and judge. She would count for them and then let them know who had the biggest splash and won. As I was trying to get the perfect shot of them jumping in, I could not stop laughing. I just couldn't get that perfect shot. I am pretty sure that I had them jump in at least 5 times and still missed it. In the 4th picture you will see Geoff's arms out. He is complaining to the judge that she judged him unfairly. She said that Macie won and he was not happy!!! HA! And I wonder where our girls get their poor sportsmanship from!! You will also notice Macie's getting ready pose and then the last picture is hilarious to me. Every time she would come up out of the water she would bring her hands up and spin as she came out saying "salute". Seriously...so funny.
We love the pool! It is such a great escape from the heat and everyone always has fun!
