Summer is Here. . . ?

Well that is what the kids thought after seeing dad outside scrubbing the pool down for several days in a row. And then they demanded that once the "little pool" was filled again Dad would have to take them swimming. Matt has had to be content with throwing things in the pool, never allowed to take a dip durring the cold months. He was so excited to go swimming! And since the water was only a warm 68 degrees, we turned the heater on and let them enjoy the spa! Alaina was right back to her water dancing, and Matt dutifully returned to making laps along the seat around and around the spa. Wasn't too pleased with Dad when he dunked him below the surface. I believe that after he sputtered for a few seconds, he stammered, with pointed finger in Chuck's general direction, "Don't . . . you. . . DO . . . THAT!" Too funny!

And while the sun has been shining in all it's splendor, we have experienced a cool down thanks to the wonderful north wind. So the kids are a little confused. But Chuck and I are very greatful for the delay of summer's arrival! Too hot, too long!
