Our first family swim day of the year : )

Yesterday Chip had the day off. I took the babies to their 4 month appointment in the morning and then we hung out with friends in the afternoon. The babies woke up from their afternoon nap around 5:15pm and ate. None of the rest of us were hungry yet, and it was so hot outside, so we decided it would be the perfect time to go swimming! We got ready and walked to the pool.Babies ready to go....still sportin' their bandaids from their shots.
Rykie wanted to ride too.

All of my boys...not sure what Ryken was telling me.

Kenzie leading the way : )

We got to the pool and no one else was there. We got Kenzie & Ryken's lifejackets on and headed into the water...which was the PERFECT temperature. It was warm enough that it wasn't hard to get into at all, but cool enough that it was refreshing.



The babies were just relaxed and hanging out the whole time. I was so glad they didn't start screaming. I had prepared myself to take them back home if I needed to, but luckily, they did great the whole time!!


Kenzie did great with her lifejacket. She has been heading right in this year without hesitation. She starts swim lessons next week which should be really exciting for her!


Ryken is a little bit more timid getting in. But he still has a really good time!


We set the camera on the edge of the pool and set the timer for 10 seconds.....and here is what we got:
Not too bad, huh?!




What a fun time!! Can't wait to do more swimming with my cute little family this summer...one of the best ways to beat the heat and wear out the kids, all at once ; )
