Summer has officially arrived in the Valley of the Sun. I cannot believe the temperature reached 111* this past week. Ridiculous, so the only way to survive is to submerge yourself in the pool all summer long. Sadly, we do not have a pool. It is on the house wish list. However, we are lucky that we have several friends, neighbors, and friends who allow us to visit and swim all summer long. We also have set up a cute little play pool (Thank you, Aunt Kathleen!) on our back patio for the kids to splash around in.
On Father's Day, while we waited for the "dads" to get home from golf, the kids and I headed over to my parent's house a little early so the kids could go swimming. Madi is becoming quite the little swimmer, becoming more comfortable with each swim she takes. This is a huge improvement over the first swim of the season when she just cried and cried not wanting to be in the water at all. For this swim, I decided to put swim floats on her arms to see how she would do. She rocked! She would walk right over to the side of the pool, and then without any fear she would just jump in and start swimming. She must have repeated this process about twenty times while we swam that morning. The videos in this post give a little glimpse of our little swimmer. I am so proud of her.
