Summer = SWIMMING!!!

now that it's officially fall... I thought i'd better put up
oUr SUmmEr SwiMmINg pOsT:

The BEST part of Summer!
& Boy oh boy, we sure had a FUN one with all our Swimming outings.
My 2 little fishy's just can't get enough of the water!



CHERRY HILL:

This was mine & the girls' most favorite outing together!

They felt so big & grown up when they could go down the slide by themselves! It was so cute to watch Rylee look at the lifeguard for the "ok" to go, then helping her sister take off!


My brave, underwater Cuties!


The Lazy River!

& Showin' Daddy how it's done!!!

This is where Rylee Jo really started to get good at swimming. Her amazing swimming skills started on our California trip, but then really picked up when we started swimming lots here...


Watch this short clip & CHECK HER OUT!!!
*unbelievable; this girl is just grinnin the whole swim:

Tennis Club with COUSINS!
Silly Daddy...

Our little miss personality:
(of coarse she did this on her own)

Following cousins off the diving board!
Rylee Jo is brave as can be, and was so proud to be able to use her new swimming skills she learned this summer to jump off on her own & swim to the side! How exciting:)


Little milly, about 1 1/2 years old, had NO fear just jumping right off the diving board, and we realized she was pattling herself to the top of the water!

YOU HAVE GOT TO WATCH THESE VIDEOs!!!
So, we thought we'd let our brave little crazy try to swim on her own off the side of the pool:
