Swimming at Grandma and Grandpa's

First off I have to apologize for not having finished blogging about our fun long weekend we had July 4th. Unfortunately I lost my camera and therefore the pics that went with the weekend. We have a new camera now so I'll try to recapture some of those moments. Henry has been doing extremely well swimming this year. We started the season off with a "puddle jumper" float (the green float Cole is wearing) and have graduated to only swimmies and have learned that he can also handle Luke's swim belt. Henry shows no fear in the water and wants very much to be independent. He's not quite as brave as his cousins, running and jumping in the water, but he does very well. Henry has spent much time swimming with Aunt Kerri who is a former lifeguard and swimming teacher, and he has definitely shown some improvements! (check out his "straight" kicking legs in some of the pics). We are so grateful to Grandma and Grandpa who not only open their pool to us but to Henry's cousins as well, we have all enjoyed it very much, and I think they enjoy having all the kids around as well!

Reed is completely fearless, and would swim on his own if only he had the coordination to do so! How cute is he!

Henry and Cole (Cole's wearing the some float that Henry started with, he can now do the swimmies as well, we love to trade floating devices!)
