It's Still Summer!!

School may be back in session, but it's still summer.....and Nora and Ella beg us almost daily to go  swimming somewhere. We usually go to "Grandmama's" pool so that I won't make any strangers jealous while wearing my bathing suit. :) But we also go to our neighborhood pools, our neighborhood beach, or just set up the awesome kiddie pool out in the backyard. Here's some recent excursions with the water....

This is a video of Nora jumping off the diving board and swimming underwater. She really became a little fish this year.

 

This year, Ella only wanted to wear "ONE floatie" to swim. :)

And once again, always some sort of dance in the mix....(Nora loved the synchronized swimming in the Olympics this year. She would sit and watch it for hours). :)

Claira just has to hang out under her tent while everyone else swims....but she'll be ready next summer!! ;)

Our girlies LOVE the water. Here's a few more of our water-adventures of 2012:

PANAMA CITY BEACH ~ FEBRUARY 2012

ONE RANDOM DAY ~ SUMMER 2012

 

 

CHATTANOOGA - MAY 2012

 

(one of my favorite memories ~ ME: "Ella, it's a seahorse." ELLA: "I don't see a horse.")

.....Claira still swam while Mommy attempted to get through the "Fat Man's Squeeze." ;)

FATHER'S DAY ~ FAIRFIELD BEACH ~ 2012

.....and Claira STILL swam, but only for 5 more days!!!

We love the water. Nothing like floating around to ease the stressors!! And when all else fails, the bathtub will do....
