I am raising fish...



Well, many of you have been asking, "What have you guys been up to this summer?" I can sum up our summer in one word.... SWIMMING!!!!!! The boys have absolutely loved having such easy access to the water. We are fortunate enough to have a neighborhood pool in our subdivision. It is conveniently located just 5 houses down from us. We also have a small lake just behind our house and the beach is about 5 miles east of us.

When we first arrived in South Carolina, Broc was swimming some and Brady could not swim on his own without floaties at all. All they need is a little water and a lot of repetition and just like magic, they are swimming like pros. Jesse and I call them our little fish. All they want to do is swim, and they are both GREAT swimmers. Broc thinks that he might want to join a swim team next year, he is pretty excited about it, so naturally ... Brady wants to now as well. It was absolutely amazing to us how fast they caught on and how great they were swimming in just 2 short weeks.

We have a family ritual. As soon as we are done with work, we go down to the pool and swim for a while before bath time. On the weekend we often spend all afternoon at the pool. It goes without saying that our boys have gotten a great sun tan this summer!! I don't know what the boys are going to do when the pool closes for the winter. Good thing we live in a warm climate and that isn't going to happen for sometime still. Enjoy the pictures or our little fish!

It looks like so much fun! You're so lucky that it is still warm enough to swim there....you know here back in Idaho, it's already cold!
