It's finally summer!

The kids had a blast with all of their cousins coming over to swim last week.  We spend a lot of time playing at parks and then coming home to swim.
Jonah is excited with his new trick.  He stands on my hands and I push him up and he does a backwards flip.  He loves to show off for everyone.
Wyatt likes the pool, but not for as long as the older kids. He usually wants me to hold him, but sometimes he will go in his floater.
We had our friends over for a barbecue and swimming the other night.  We all had a great time. I think the kids like drying off as much as swimming.  Caitlyn and Jonah were outside from 10 AM to 8 PM.  I need to do better at applying sun block and making them drink when they are outside that long.  Caitlyn was so tired by the end of the day.
Later that night we did some sparklers.  All the kids were a little nervous about it.  Jonah finally relaxed and did a few.
Caitlyn spent the night on the porch watching.  She finally stopped covering her ears, but would never try a sparkler.  She said she wants to tonight, so we will see.  I love summer.   After we put the kids to bed Keith and I went out in the pool and watched fireworks.  It was a great weekend!
