{Jaedyn @ the Pool}

Jaedyn was tall enough last year to do all the things Landon can do this year, so this year her big thing was the "swim band".   She took the test last year, and didn't pass.  She took the test this year.....  and passed the 1ST TIME!!!  She was so excited.  She spends all of her time going between the lazy river and the diving board.  She loves the freedom!  She still goes down the water slide, just doesn't have the appeal that the diving board and the lazy river does now I guess.

P.S.  Happy 4th of July!  :)

Today is Landon's Turn.  This year Landon is finally tall enough to touch the entire length of the pool & to go down the water slide.  He is so happy.  His next big obstacle? - Passing the swim test.   To pass the swim test he must:

1. Swim the length of the pool with big arms (no dog paddling)
2.  After swimming the length of the pool, without touching the bottom or the sides, tread water for 60 seconds without his chin touching the water

Once he passes the swim test he will get a "swim band"  when wearing a swim band he can go into the lazy river by himself, into the big pool, and be able to use the diving board (12 feet deep of the end of the diving board)

He is keeping himself busy however jumping off the side of the pool, going down the water slide and playing with Tanner.

This summer we have spent a lot of time at the pool.  I have not been very good at taking pictures lately, I just haven't had my camera with me much.  The next few days will be "pool" posts!

Tanner loves going to the pool and putting on his "baby soup"  He has the best time at our YMCA pool.  He loves to walk into the water, and going into the waterfall.  His most favorite by far is dunking himself into the water.  He does it over and over and over again, never gets old!

Yes - he does this on purpose.   Forwards and Backwards!

The pools open!

The pool at the YMCA is definitely a place you can find us in the Summer!  This year is no exception.  Jaedyn is finally "officially" tall enough to ride the water slide.  No more tip toes and putting her ponytail on top of her head.  (haha! no, I'm not kidding)  Landon is loving swimming the entire pool just like Jaedyn.  Tanner is a little more challenging, but he is keeping himself busy. 

[Jaedyn going up to the water slide.  You have to be 48" tall to ride this, and you can not go down with anyone else.]

Pool Time

We are really going to miss going to the pool everyday now that school has started!  It seems like the Summer flew by so quickly.
