We started out this morning with a couple of treats: Caribou for me and donuts at the bakery for the girls. They love going to the bakery for a special sugary treat (and although I consider Caribou a treat, I grab one more frequently than one probably should). On such a hot day, I knew we would work off all those calories and sugar in the pool this afternoon.
Sidney enjoyed her chocolate sprinkler dounut and Regan got her usual "Big Foot".
We are blessed with some amazing friends. And today we had the opportunity to spend time first with a couple of my friends from graduate school and two of their kiddos and later one of my friends from my days at SCSU and her two kiddos. Talk about fun!! Regan's swimming abilities have grown astronomically in the last week. Frankly, in the last 24 hours she has simply amazed me. Not only is she going after dive sticks in the shallow end, swimming under the water and swimming the length of the pool, she is now jumping off the board without a life jacket and swimming to the edge (and repeat, repeat, repeat). Check out the picture below where she is doing a karate move off the board and then a video of her HERE. (side note: she's asking "did it work?" because my camera lens fogged up when I brought it outside so she had to wait a very long time to catch it on video. It's that humid!)
I know most people are really not enjoying this weather, but we are having nothing but fun and are so thankful for great friends to enjoy it with!
