We have had a busy summer! When I opened up my folder of June pictures, I sadly only have six! However, those six sum up our June quite well!
We swam!!

One afternoon, the kids were playing in the backyard while I cooked dinner. As usual, I had checked the gate to the pool to confirm it was shut, as well as reminded Carly not to open the gate, before I went inside. About 5 minutes later, Carly ran inside and said "Mommy Mommy, Tyler is in the water!!" You can imagine my shock and fear! I ran outside quickly and found Tyler playing in the water . . .
Silly boy had climbed in our cooler, which had water in it from the weekend! Whew!
We enjoyed our pool a lot! Tyler loves playing in the water!
Mommy with her kiddos!
The main thing that kept us busy in June was swimming lessons for Carly. A friend of a friend referred a wonderful swim teacher, Claire, to teach Carly to swim. Claire was a spunky, upbeat college student who came to our house in the evening for about 3 days a week for 3 weeks, and by lesson 7 Carly was swimming! It is so awesome to see Carly swimming all over the pool and to be confident in herself! Plus, as a pool owner, I breathe a little sigh of relief that now one of my kids can swim!
Continuing in our summer swim season, the pictures below are from the 4th of July. We swam!
