Swimming in Texas

Getting ready to go in the water!

Hanging with Grandma before getting in to the pool.

Cups in the water, fun, fun!

Swimming in the floaty.

More cup fun.

Emily had such a fun time at the swimming pool with Grandma and Grandpa and also at Aunt Christi and Uncle Dan's fancy pool. We took Emily swimming each day that we were gone. Grandma had gotten Emily a little lady bug floaty that she was a little apprehensive about
at first, but once she warmed up to it, she really enjoyed being able to float around the pool without being in one of our arms. On Sunday we went to Aunt Christi and Uncle Dan's for Dan's birthday. They have a new pool in their development that has a ton of fountains and things squirting water. Emily enjoyed playing there also and having the attention of so many people. She loves to have Greg sing the Wheels on the Bus while in the water. She gets to splash a lot while doing all of the motions and she loves it when the people go up and down because she gets to go up over Greg's head and back down into the water. She also is a big fan of jumping off of the side of the pool. She's being held the whole time, but she bends her knees after we count to 3 and reaches back up to the side of the pool after she swims back. We'll be making good use of our pool here on the days that the weather is good since she's so happy in the water.
