we've had some fun beach days and swimming days this summer
snoozing at the Christopher high school aquatic center
the boys love it here in this fun space with pools and it doesn't get very crowded at all. we practice what they have learned at swimming and they get a lot more comfortable in the water here. I love being able to swim laps in the swimming pool after the boys are tired out from swimming!
blowing bubbles. I love that caleb is feeling comfortable enough to put his head all the way under the water now! (I have a picture in my heart of that moment!) huge milestone for him! noah loves the water. he loves putting his head under, jumping off the side, and just splashing all around and floating on his back. Lucas loves it too and I'm glad we have a place to go swimming in during the summer. I'd love it even more if there was a place like this in Hollister:)
We've enjoyed some family beach days and friend play dates at the beach too
this was such a sweet scene of these three boys playing and working together on their little water mote
love lucas' face here! pure delight
we didn't capture this on camera but we scored some boggie boards at a garage sale and dave and I and caleb went boogie boarding. oh what fun! I hadn't boogie boarded in I honestly don't know how long! It brought back sweet childhood memories of summer time and spending all day out on the water boogie boarding and body surfing. I'm so excited for more of those moments with the boys this time. Dave and I felt like kids again out on the water. Pure joy!!
I think flying kites is a favorite for the boys. they love it. and love singing the song from mary poppins! "Let's go fly a kite!"
I'm treasuring these long summer days and holding onto them with everything I've got. The days go quickly and are slipping through my fingers quicker than sand! I love having all my boys home with me all day every day again. So here is to more beach days, pool days, Gilroy Garden adventures, home days, and baseball nights! I just love summer time!!!
