Our Swimming Pool

We love it when friends come to play with us at our pool. Like Abby and her mom Sherri and sister Harper. We often have a snack or meal there too, those are raspberries on Gloria's fingers.

We go to the pool A LOT! And the end of July Lydia learned how to swim. This is even a bigger deal that her learning how to swing herself. She actually went underwater and went three strokes the week Caleb was in a conference and she was so excited to show him because he had been doing 'swimming lessons' with her. Since then she has been practicing more and more and got some goggles and now can open her eyes. The whole time we go to the pool now, she loves to swim and swim and swim; she even jumps in. She mostly stays where she can touch. But yesterday she swam to me across the deep end. One day just the four of us went and I got to float in the little pool with Gloria while Caleb and Lydia had a blast diving, swimming, having a tea party underwater, and jumping off the edge. It is awesome!
