Sunshine, Swimming, and Grandmas

This last week was SUPER-hot!  Well, not compared to some places I guess, but it felt pretty warm to me.  Which I LOVED!  Especially because we decided to take a break from our "Summer Camp" Themed days and just swim each day. :)  


We don't have a pass to any particular pool, so we just tend to pool-hop.  This time, we hit my friend Dre's pool (you can read all about that experience a previous post).  The next day, we went to my M-I-L's pool.  It's fun, free, and Grandma came with us...win, win, win!  Because she was there I was actually able to get some pictures. :)  It was great!


Here is Jake getting ready...oh wait...yikes! This will most DEFINATELY be shown at his wedding some day.  Sorry bud. :)

This is Grandma Jill's pool.  Pretty great right?!

As you can see...these two were pleased as punch to be here. :)


Here are a few other random shots, that are pretty self-explanatory.  Most candid, many staged. :)  But they give you the feel of the day, nonetheless.

Oh my, we may just have to go there again tomorrow. ;)


The next day, I decided on a whim to go up to my mom's house in Logan with the kids so that Trev could continue working on our entertainment center.  We literally, got up, called my mom to tell her to meet us at the Logan Aquatic Center around 2 p.m., packed, finished some random things, and then drove up. :)


As I previously promised myself, I did take some pictures this time.  Here they are:

Okay, not a ton of pictures, but a few. :)


On a side note, or a full note actually, THIS WAS BIG...I FINALLY, after many, many, many years of being too scared, I went off the HIGH DIVE!  I sort of have this fear of heights, and combine that with a semi-tramatic experience as a child of being thrown off a High Dive, I never wanted to do it.  But after my 6 year old son did it, and I decided it was time.


So with quite a cheering crowd there to encourage me, I FINALLY did it!  Jake did it 3 times!!!  It was very, very big for me.  There is nothing more exhilarating than conquering an irrational fear.  


Shockingly, it wasn't that bad.  I would do it again.  Maybe. :)


What a lucky girl I am to have my kids by my side all summer.  And how blessed to have family so close.  I will miss these days when school starts again.  


Don't get me wrong, we have a lot of kinks and I struggle some days to be patient.  But the good is DEFINATELY outweighing the bad.  That's what matters most. :)
