Finally enjoying summer

With all the rain, we haven't been able to go outside much. Today however, we were lucky enough to have the rain hold off until just a few minutes ago as we were putting Ethan to bed. Matthew is house sitting at our cousins and since they have a pool we decided to visit while the sun was shining. This was Ethan's first time in a pool, we will be starting water babies classes soon so I was interested to see what he thought of the pool. He loved it! Here are a few pictures of the day.

Here we are: Ethan and me, Rebecca and Audrey (the neighbor's little girl who Ashley babysits) and Jack and Ashley.

He had a great time splashing around.

I can't imagine his thumb still tasted good with the chlorine but he still insisted on putting it in his mouth.

Some more splashing around. He was so wet it looks like I dunked him, but I really I didn't!


Unfortunately Ryan and Justin M. couldn't come with us even though they are teachers and have the summer off. This is what they were doing instead:



They are painting our Grandma's house. First they have to scrape all the peeling paint. They are on day 4 and have only scrapped about half the house. I'm sad he missed out on our swimming adventure, but we already have plans on what to do with the extra cash the project will bring in.
