52 Week project - Week 28 - Water

If you want to learn to swim jump into the water. On dry land no frame of mind is ever going to help you.  - Bruce Lee

  
Water

Since November, I think everyone in the family has been excited about the pool at Michael and Jasmine's house and we have all been eagerly awaiting the "Opening Weekend".  We are very appreciative that they have had us over a bunch of times to go swimming - the kids have absolutely loved it and it is amazing how much better they have gotten swimming since the start of the summer. 

Right after their honeymoon, Michael and Jasmine had their pool opened and we were lucky enough to be there to witness Michael's first cannonball into his new pool. 

 We told the boys that they had to wait to go in because Michael (or Jasmine) should have been the first one in and as soon as Michel hit the water, so did the kids.

 Even though we told them they would not be allowed to go off the diving board, Michael said it would be ok which made Ryan and Dylan's day

Since the first day, the boys continue to love jumping off the diving board and they must have already gone off it a hundred times this summer. 

 

 It is clear that Michael has also done his fair share of cannonballs since the summer started because his form has definitely improved as well.

When they are not busy jumping off the board, the boys keep themselves busy playing another popular game: Timber.   
"Timber" is Dylan's favorite and he will do it over and over again.

 By the time we head home after a day at Michael and Jasmine's, the boys are usually so wiped out that they fall asleep before we are even off Michael's street.

 

Thanks so much Mike and Jasmine for letting us come over for swimming fun.  I can't believe that summer is almost over and I also can't believe that you have any water left in the pool considering how much water my boys have swallowed this summer.  xoxo
