AAAAAHHHHHH Summer...

This past weekend we took a trip up to NOVA to visit the fam. My niece was having a birthday party and the kids were jonzin' for some grandma and grandpa love (ie - they wanted to get spoiled). The kids had a great time. We went to the pool and my parents were amazed with their swimming abilities. Patty is really getting good at jumping off the diving board. She's even started doing tricks...cannonballs and such. It's very fun to watch.

And much like her potty training, Amanda is taking it upon herself to learn how to swim, with hardly any help from us. When she wants to do something she just does it. It's amazing.

Here are some pics and videos for your enjoyment (these are from Saturday at our pool. We went to NOVA on Sunday).

They're not quite ready for synchronized diving yet...Maybe by the 2020 Summer Olympics :-)



Notice that Amanda is insistent that I go "really really far" so she can swim to me.


This is Patty swimming...and Amanda STILL wants me to go "really really far."
