I had to post at least a few pics of the girls and Dan swimming this summer. Although there are very few pictures at the pool we probably spent about 80% of our summer at the pool! We have been lucky to have a pool in our townhome development and believe me, we have gotten some good use out of it this summer! We probably get our arms twisted by Kaylee to head to the pool at least 3 or 4 times a week! We now have Makenna looking at us with her puppy dog eyes saying "simming? simming?" as she does her arms in the motions of a little dog paddle. Unresistabley cute! Of course dad heads right upstairs to get the suits!
Besides the girls Dan has loved the pool this summer as well. He got himself some good swimming goggles and has been working on his strokes across the pool!
At the beginning of the summer we put Kaylee in swimming lessons. She was totally scared of the pool and would not do most of the things her teacher asked her to do. She would hardly let go of the wall! When we were home at our own pool she wouldn't get in without her floaties. So Dan took her out one day just the two of them and left the floaties at home! After a bit it finally clicked with Kaylee that she can swim!! When she was forced to do it she suddenly realized that it was not as scary as she had thought. Now we can not get her out of the pool! She jumps right in -even into the deep end. She can swim all around on her own and is a pretty good little swimmer!
Kenna was glad to see Kaylee let go of the floaties as they got passed down to her! She is totally fearless and wants to jump right in! She puts her little floaties on and swims around the whole pool on her own. She is so cute kicking her little legs around and floating on her big pink floaties. She loves to feel like she is just as big as big sis Kaylee.
Daddy and his girls spending some quality time at the pool! Not quite sure what he's going to do when he has 3 girls to lug around the pool:-) He loves all the attention he gets from his girls- I don't think he feels too bad being the only boy in the family:-)
We had a great summer at the pool!

That looks like SO much fun! We LOVE swimming! (but we aren't lucky enough to have a pool in our front yard and the weather wasn't exactly hot this summer here in Seattle...) Perhaps we should come visit and go for a dip with you all!
ps-Kaylee looks so excited about school...I can't believe she's already a Kindergartener!
