Catching up on our summer fun-June


Daddy and Benji at the petting farm

Cousin Ryelle's First wadding pool experience- she grew to love it but this picture was too precious!


Benji had some creative ways to keep cool in the 100 degree weather. He built this "shelter from the sun" all on his own. I promise we plan on planting some trees for shade soon!
Benji made some great strides in his second year of swim lessons. He was thrilled to go down the "big water slide" for the first time as a finally to swim lessons. When he came down he screamed "that was totally awesome" over and over and, "I want to do it again!!!" I was so surprised was this my timid boy?

Ryelle was a real trooper waiting for Benji at his swim lessons every day for 2 weeks. Isn't she a cutie!!!

After lessons we practiced in our neighborhood pool and he shocked Daddy with being able to jump in, swim above & under water all on his own. We now have a regular fish for a son. He could stay in the pool all day. The longest span has been 4 solid hours of swimming with out floaties. I remember last year at lessons the coach had to practically pry his arms off my legs to get in the pool now we have to drag him from the water he loves it so much.



The finally water slide!
