Well, it's not exactly summer yet (it will officially begin for us in 3 days, but whose counting?), but we enjoyed a beautiful Sunday afternoon at Mimi and Poppi's pool! After church, we decided to take the kids to Simpsonville where they have the annual Freedom Weekend Aloft to see if we could spot some hot air balloons. When we got there we couldn't see the first one, and when we asked, we were told they usually take off first thing in the morning and then early evening. We decided instead of waiting to come on home and we would enjoy the day in the pool. Drew, Mikayla, and I hadn't been out there very long when Jennie and her boyfriend BJ joined us. The water was still very cold, but it was a nice relief from the hot temperature outside!
Mikayla jumps off the side of the pool. She is tall enough this year to touch in the shallow end! I love this picture. I snapped as her feet hit the water!
BJ taught Drew how to jump high off the diving board. You can see he's not wearing any floatation device. He was able to do this last year as well, but only when it wasn't just me and them. This year he will be able to go without floats all the time.
Mommy's glad BJ didn't decide to teach Drew to do this!! He reminds me so much of my brother. Jonathan has always been a dare devil, and don't think Drew didn't ask BJ how he did that. We told him he has several years (more like decades) to learn!
Jennie takes a break from swimming to catch a few rays!
