We've gotten to go swimming quite a bit this summer and it's been so much fun! We have mostly been going to the Mason pool with Katie and Jude in the evenings. They have a pass with some guest passes on it.
Caleb is a natural in the water. He just loves it! He gets so excited and kicks and scoops his arms enough that he actually moves. We can dunk him (which Tommy does often) without him really reacting. He also recently started putting his own face in the water and blowing bubbles. It's amazing! He is just so happy when in water.
Bradley has always been hesitant of water. At the beginning of the summer when we were in Moab, he basically cried the whole time and would put up a big fight if we made him leave the steps. But because we have gone swimming so much, he has really warmed up to it and now loves it. He still doesn't like to get his face or head wet, but he enjoys being at the pool and that is a huge improvement! He has gotten good with his puddle jumper and will swim off on his own and he loves playing and walking by himself in areas he can touch. He now gets excited to go swimming and is usually wanting to stay longer than we can. Yay!
Tommy has loved all the swimming. In past summers, I got to go swimming with Bradley but usually during the day when Tommy worked. But this year since we've been going in the evenings, he has gotten to come and we've made it more of a priority. His first suggestion for an activity is always swimming.
I have enjoyed cooling off and seeing my boys happy. I also enjoy chatting with Katie since we usually go with her. :)
