a swimming we will go

Summer has officially arrived! All those gorgeous spring days quickly faded and now the heat and humidity has taken over! The only advantage is we get to start swimming the first week in May!

We spent Saturday at my brother's house celebrating Mothers day a little early. We did BBQ on the grill while the girls swam. Brinley is currently taking swim lessons, so I wanted to try the arm floaties on her this summer. I was very surprised how well she was doing with them on! We didn't even have to be in the pool with her, she was swimming like a champ. She has only done 3 of her 10 lessons, so maybe we won't need them by the end of the summer :)

Clayton got his first taste of the swimming pool. I think this picture explains it all.....

We are going to wait until it gets hotter for him to take a dip with us again.

Sunday we had a birthday party at the YMCA for the twins in Brinley's MDO class. The YMCA has a great pool that only gets 3 ft deep with lots of slides and a spray park. We spent a lot of our summer there last year, and plan to do the same again this summer.

Brinley also had her MDO program on Tuesday. They were dressed like Nemo (it was an ocean theme) and sang their ABC's, Row Row Row your boat, I see the Moon, and counted to 1o in english and spanish. It was very cute and Brinley was not distracted at all by the audience, she sang and did her hand motions with no problem!
