A Day in the Water

 Our kiddos were going stir crazy yesterday. They were literally running up and down the hall and into the living room screaming as loud as they could before bed. Poor Daddy was trying to get his work done. A day out was in order for today, so we took off to our favorite pool! It was a bit of a gong show, but all worked out well in the end. I almost forgot the wipes, but remembered to run in just before we left. It was a good thing because the little man has been a pooping machine. For some reason Camilla's knee was hurting her after we pulled up and she couldn't walk on it. I think she ran around too much last night at the corn bust. We had a few errands to run and I ended up having to piggy back her while Hyrum walked. I was hoping the warm water at the pool would help it feel better, but it's still sore tonight. Either way, they both had a blast and were glad to be out of the house!

When we got there Camilla hobbled out to the pool deck and we put on life jackets for both of them. She was able to move around a lot better in the water and had fun swimming around and playing with the pool toys.

Hyrum's face in this picture cracks me up. The highlight of his day was the yellow slide. He's getting so big! He is so confident on his feet now and when I wasn't chasing him down the pool deck he was having fun walking around in the water and climbing up the stairs to slide. I only missed him once, resulting in some sputtering of water, but he got back up and went again, and again, and again. He also loved doing back floats in his life jacket and would give me a good belly laugh every time I'd put him on his back and let him kick up a storm.

It's fun to see the two of them interact together. They are really good friends and for the most part enjoy one another. It makes me happy to see them play together.

Camilla is also getting braver in the water and loved swimming with her life jacket and her "Mr. Noodle". That girl cracks me up. She had fun experimenting on her tummy and back in the water and it was nice to see her so excited to try new things.
