pool play.

.....

Now that it's summertime, we've been going over to Nana Karen and Papa Kelbo's pool almost every day. The kids absolutely LOVE to swim...especially Reid! He is such a little fish. About a month before he turned four he started swimming all over the pool without floaties or a lifejacket. He's especially good at holding his breath and diving. He can dive down 8 feet and get things off the bottom of the pool! He gets his diving talent from his father! He also loves jumping into the water while doing "cool tricks." Cannon balls, helicopter twists, and ninja kicks are a few of his favorites. LilliAnn is starting to like the water a little bit more this year. She still doesn't like wearing floaties and won't get too far into the pool unless her daddy is holding her. Her favorite thing is holding on to the side of the pool and "floating," while wearing her floatie swimsuit that Nana Karen got her in Italy. She also loves when her daddy throws her up into the air and catches her.

Jeb is great at working with the kids on swimming technique. He is the one who taught Reid how to swim and now he's helping LilliAnn.
