Summer Sum-Up

This summer I've seriously missed the boat
on bringing the camera to the pool and taking
action shots of the kids.

Last year I had tons of them.

This year, not so much.

Due to Keira wanting the clutch on to me
with her death-grip, until this past week
when she was finally comfortable to float in the water.
(with the help of the inflatable turtle we call Timmy The Turtle)
Keira get's a spray down of SPF50
by her equally "lily white" dad!

Although I missed the seconds before
when Syd was doing the splits in the air,
I still thought this was a blog worthy shot!

Sydney calls this her "triple twist".

Showing off her Ballet moves.

"Let's Jump Together!"

Rain or shine, this girl asked to go to the pool
EVERY DAY!!
.
I have a feeling that this is going to end up
as a belly flop!!

Forward, backward, either way is good for her!

Legs tucked in...check.
Eyes closed...check.
Nose plugged...check.

Emma in action!

Muscle Man

No fear!

His version of a twisty jump.

Big Splash!

Ben always enjoys a good game of find the rings on the steps!

Kids and water, so fun and and so scary if they don't respect it! I'm glad that you had one to go to, I've spent time back in that gorgeous country ... that gorgeous, muggy, wet, drippy country. A pool would be an absolute must!

Where did you get the little floaties on Ben's arms? Those are the best and they are not sold in AZ any more, DRAT!

We LOVE pool days!! You got some great action shots of your kids! Larry's fair skin gene must be pretty strong, as three of your kids got that gene!!! LOL!!!
As for my kids, NONE of them have gotten my fair skin gene...yet, we will have to see with this little girl. I for one, am keeping my fingers crossed that she has golden skin like Kevin and the other kids, yet my red hair : ) Hey, a girl can dream, can't she?! LOL!!!
