Swimming all Summer

We've been taking advantage of the community pool all summer for several reasons: it's hot, it's close, it's free, the girls take long naps, and we're both home to take them.  Faith has been taking swim lessons so we've been reinforcing what she has been learning. Just today she did her back float all by herself!  Hooray!

Kate has become quite the daredevil.  She'll race through the water fountains, plunge into the water (even when it's too deep for her), and can go down all the water slides by herself.  She loves the water and gets so excited when she sees her swimsuit.  Dad has been teaching her how to blow bubbles in the water which she loves to say Go Go Bubbles!
