1st swim!

Yesterday we took the babies for their first swim and they did great! My parents and J's parents both have pools and we have intended so many times to take them swimming but our schedules are so busy we haven't had time. We took them to J's Dad's yesterday and had so much fun!

At first they were a little hesitant. We tried to get them to believe it's just a big bath tub :). The funny thing is that we had a little floatie for each of them and when I put Max in his he flipped out and started crying and reaching for me. Not 30 seconds after I took him out of it, Jason put Rylie in it and she started giggling and kicking and splashing. All of the sudden Max is pointing at the other floatie and making his little grunting noise that he makes when he wants something. It's like he's thinking "oh, ok. Sister is in it and she's ok so maybe it's not so bad"! Ha ha, silly boy! I can totally see him following suit after his Sister once she deems something ok. She is the more adventurous one right now. Once I put him in the other floatie he was great. He was smiling and giggling and having a grand ol time!

We really had a lot of fun. It made me really miss my Father in Law who has been gone for a year and a half now. All of his kids were at his house swimming and having a great time and he wasn't there to enjoy it. :( It makes me sad. Hopefully he was watching us from above with a smile on his face.
