The air has been so thick with heat and humidity. Having a pool 20 feet away makes it so easy to beat the heat and have fun at the same time. Nowadays, the water temperature has been 85 or above...the warmest being 89! The kids have gotten more comfortable in the water. Peter has progressed so much to the point he dips his head underwater without protest and even likes jumping in by himself!
Natalie must have had a little growth spurt since she's now able to touch the bottom of the shallow end and keep her head above the water. Most of the time, she has been going without a vest and is super happy about that. Otherwise, she wears a vest when there are extra kids and extra waves in the pool because she easily could get a mouthful of water. Natalie also has gotten a number of new bathing suits this summer. In total, she has 3 different ones, a Dora one-piece, a bikini (which she calls her 'bras'), and this cute number my mom gave her. It's so classic! 
Here, Elaine is modeling half of the floatation devices we own! She's very comfortable in the pool...sometimes a little too comfortable. She's the least fearful of them all. So, we always need to keep the fourth eye on her!
This has been a memorable summer for our first at the Bluffwood home. Hopefully, the kids will fondly remember these times when they've grown up.
