When in Arizona.....

It is very safe to say my children are better Bowlers than me....

And my parents have a way better social life than us!

Ha. 

We had a BLAST!

Poolside

Sunshine and swimming pools.
They are happy.

Hello September!

We are still enjoying summer… thank you very much!

Cook Out.

It's how we enjoy the last evening of vacation.

Last evening tradition.

A fire and hot dog roast.
We did it up just right!

Lake life.

Building with sand is indeed a right of passage for kiddos.  
Simple sign of freedom.

Sometimes the best part of a lake swim is rinsing off in a warm shower.

Hot Tubs.

The most handsome hot tubers you have ever seen…

Andrew suggested we were really just missing Papa (Papa is the biggest hot-tubber fan we know).

Water Babies. We swim.

Being comfortable, cautious, and enjoying being in and around the water is a life skill.

No way around that.

As a family we spend a huge amount of time swimming for fun.

It doesn't have to be scary…  but it does have to be respected.

We love to swim.

A LOT!

Panoramics

I've been taking so many of these both on vacation and at home but I never take the time to post them here.

Taken with my iPhone.
Gotta love technology!

My heart...

in a photograph!

Pool sessions.

We have logged a huge amount of pool time the last two days.

HUGE!

Right before the sprinklers.

It's against the rules.

We did it anyway…

Grama said it was ok.

Little Bathing Beauty.

14 months old.

She ruled the pool today.
