Nathan's first time in a real pool!

Yesterday, our friends Nick and Sara were driving through town. They were at the end of a very long road trip! They decided to stay the night in Spokane and chose a hotel with a pool. We wanted to go see them and have dinner and maybe see if Nathan wanted to try swimming.

I was apprehensive that he would not like swimming since he doesn't much like his baby pool. He doesn't like getting his clothes wet, and he doesn't understand that you're SUPPOSED to get swimsuits wet. So he'll usually climb out of his little pool complaining he wants dry shorts.

Well, we got him into the pool with Jeremy and he LOVED it! He did GREAT for his first time swimming. It was a hotel pool and the water was quite cold. Nathan was shivering a little bit, but was still all smiles with Daddy. I couldn't believe it! I'm so glad he likes the water so much. Having Daddy there probably made a big difference as well!



Kick, kick, kick!




I love this one. Nathan has such a BIG smile!






I got everyone in this picture! Jeremy with Nathan. Nick with Claire and Adam.



At the beginning, he was a little apprehensive, and the water was cold. Once he got in, he loved it!

KJ went swimming in a big pool last weekend! His first time had been last July so he was too young to really know what was going on... but this year he had lots of fun! He freaked out at first, he probably cried for about 10 minutes after just stepping into the room with the pool but after Chad let him test the hot tub out for a bit he was ready to get into the real deal!

how fun!

my kids LOVE the pool, but they are kinda forced to since there's not a whole lot else to do here in the summer.

That is too funny that he gets out of his little pool and wants dry shorts. So funny...
