Memorial Day {Part 1 of 2} Swimming

This year we spent Memorial Day in Austin so we could attend a very special wedding-more on that in Part 2 of this post!

We arrived at Lita & Grandpa's house Saturday afternoon and the kids could hardly wait to jump in the pool and swim!  I am so glad we had just finished our week of swim lessons because the kids were both very confident in the water and eager to practice all their new skills!

The pool water was freezing since we have had so many rain storms, lower than average temps and lots of cloudy days!  The kids got in for about 20 minutes, but that was all they could handle!  The next day Grandpa heated the pool for us which made it much more enjoyable and everyone jumped in!  Clark was having the time of his life with the water guns!

Claire loved her pool ring!  This was her first year without wearing a puddle jumper or having floaties in her way and she had a blast jumping in the water with this ring and swimming around the pool with it!

I was so happy we caught a break in the rain and clouds to have some fun in the sun!  This is all the kids have been wanting to do and their wish came true!

Clark, the always daring and brave son of ours found his joy in jumping off the edge and into the deep end!  He is great at it and loved jumping in, going under and then lifting back up thanks to his puddle jumper!

Big splash!  These kids had a blast and could literally live at the pool all summer long!  We love Lita and Grandpa's pool!  With all the beautiful landscaping and hill country around us we feel like we are at a resort!  Thank you Lita and Grandpa for such a fun time!

Coming up in Part 2- the wedding and our anniversary time together!!!
