Yesterday we spent the day at mom and dads house. We had a blast spending most of the day in the pool and visiting with my cousin Davey. He is getting married soon and will be living here! We are so excited to have him so close! One of the kids favorite things to do in the summer is to get snowies or ice's (or whatever you call them). The kids decided they wanted to introduce Davey to the "best" flavor that exists! PICKLE JUICE! He loved it can't you tell? We all think it is absolutely disgusting, but you just haven't lived until you have tried it. Actually, Chase is probably the only one that can even stand it!
So the summer has officially began since we all had an "Ice Wizard!" As far as spending the day in the pool, Cody decided that yesterday was the day he would swim. What a little fish...no more floaties, hanging on everyone, or using a noodle! He is an official swimmer! He jumps off the edge, dives for sticks, and swims the length of the pool. We knew it was for real when he walked over to the diving board and jumped in. (maybe Jordan bribing him with $5.00 helped) but he did it over and over again! Great job buddy!
Mr. Try anything, never give up until it is perfect - Chase did a backdive for the first time....he was awesome! Jordan decided she needed to try, since her little brother was doing it! But doing it off the side was daring enough for her. Eventhough it wasn't off the diving board, it was good!
And the major excitement for the day was finding the frog in the skimmer! Paige named him "Jeremiah" and all the kids took turns holding him and playing with him. They begged and begged for us to bring him home, but I assured them, he would be much happier outside at Grandma and Grandpas house. We walked him back to the pond behind mom and dads house and let him go. This frog is actually one of the smaller frogs that found it's way into mom and dads pool. I assured them we would see other frogs, as they seem to make their way into the pool quite often.
