More Pool Time

Friday we got the invitation to join another friend at another neighborhood pool. So, we loaded up all our pool accessories, towels and a picnic lunch and headed over to meet our friend Cacee and her son Asher. Asher and Xander are only a few months apart, so they've been together since they were born. We began with some time in the baby pool for the boys. The pool has a mushroom fountain, but it was off - which I think was actually a plus since that fool was quite cold and the girls would have been avoiding the spray which would have limited their playing area.
After a while, we headed over to the main pool. We grabbed Xander's float and popped him in - which he's now getting quite used to doing. Then Trinity and Kalyn got all suited up in their floats. Until they are both proficient swimmers, I think these devices will be lifesavers for me at the pool alone with them.
While Cacee watched (and played with) Xander and Asher, I got the chance to really work with Trinity (and a bit with Kalyn) on her swimming. She's getting better each time we're in the pool, but she's getting very dependant on her life-jacket type float. We'll get there eventually, though.

After a good swim time, we stopped for a picnic lunch. It was so nice to sit and relax with Cacee for awhile - well, relax as much as you can with 4 kids running around and trying to contribute to the conversation. Asher was so sweet to share his watermelon with Xander and they devoured it!! YUMMY!!


















Soon after lunch, we headed home to get in naps (and they did all crash!)


Friday night, Craig's parents came in to spend Father's Day weekend with us. We are looking forward to having some family pictures taken and enjoying some time with them. With their arrival, it also allowed Craig and I to head up to church last night to decorate my room for next week's VBS. We weren't able to get it all done last night (since we didn't want to cover up some of the supplies for Sunday school), but it is looking quite good! I can't wait until Sunday night when it's all done and Monday when we kick off the big and busy week!!
