My Camera Broke

The pool has been open for a few weeks and that is where we have been living lately. (okay not really.... BUT we have been enjoying it during this heat wave!)
And, I got these fun pictures when the incident happened... the camera got moist from the pool water and is now out of business for us; thus the lack of updates. Okay Okay that isn't entirely true either, but I'm going to use it as an excuse instead of my normal "I am a bad blogger blah blah blah" excuse.

When our pool opened we had a few visitors. A momma duck and ten babies made our pool their home. Here are the kiddos having fun watching them.

We came back the next day to SWIM and they were still there swimming right a long with us. Unfortunately a community pool isn't the place for duckies and we had some pretty rude people trying to chase them down and splash them. etc. They lasted for a few days and then I never saw them again.

Speaking of swimming, Jackson has become our little fishy. He has always been a bit timid about water being in his face (he hates washing out shampoo in the bath and he is scared to death of showers). So, the first few times we went he did great with his floaties, but still got nervous if his face got in the water. Then we took him to the ward swimming party and he became a new kid. He saw all the big kids jumping in the pool, going under the water, going off water slides and diving boards and realized that it isn't too bad to get your face wet. Soon enough he was jumping into the water (over and over again) going off the slide and jumping off the diving board. Now he has no fear. (which could be a bad or a good thing) He loves it and I love watching him have fun!

Stay tuned for more updates (unfortunately without pictures)
