Over the Weekend

We did a lot of swimming over the weekend, at both Grandparent's houses and in our own backyard.
The funny thing about these next couple of pictures is both the kids are in long sleeves and swim hats that cover a lot - and it was a little cool, cloudy, and about 6:30 at night. They did look a little silly so covered up at that time of night, but I decided I should just make it a habit to always wear the hats and swim shirts, and hopefully they won't fight me on it when it is 100 degrees and sunny - right?

Ben was loving swimming in the big (unheated) pool with Tom. He has zero body fat so he was shivering with blue lips the whole time - but he loved it! They pulled a slide over to the edge of the pool for the kids to slide down - and that was the favorite activity of the evening.


Elizabeth loved it all too. She asked Tom today if it was finally summer so she could do a lot of swimming and get sno-cones - our two favorite summer activities!

The next day we were playing outside with Drew and Josh and the kids decided they should swim with all their clothes on, and that it would be a good idea to pull the slide over to the pool, just like at Grandma's house.
This provided about an hours worth of entertainment - and no fighting!!

I'd say it was a successful evening! Hope you had a good weekend, too!

The hats are from Hanna Anderson - you could probably find it online. They were having a good sale :)

Ben looks so much like (younger) Tom in the pic with them in the pool. I think it's the smile!
