Summer (May) 2016

11:11:00 PM

So far summer in 2016 has been pretty awesome!

We have spent time at our local elementary schools playground. Riding slides with all three of us in a row. (I sure hope no one was watching.)

Late nights by the fire pit with sticky fingers and chocolate faces.

Celebrating graduates.

Getting our money's worth for our Goldpass season ticket to Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun. Hands down the best Christmas gift! Thanks GiGi!

Playing at our neighborhood pool or/and at Grandma and Grandpas pool.

Or taking bubble baths when it is thundering (plundering as Porter calls it) outside!

Like I said, this summer has started off amazing! I am so thankful for this time with my babies and hope to bring you more from June.

Last year we had a scary moment where Porter fell into the pool without a life jacket. Luckily, Drew was there to get him out but man...probably one of the scariest moments of my life! With that being said Porter is very comfortable with the water, so we wanted to make sure he had a few skills under his belt.

We took a two week class with six total sessions at Gage Gymanistics in Blue Springs, MO. This was an amazing place to take lessons! We were lucky enough to have a small class so the student to teacher ratio was two to one and sometimes one to one. Porter learned to jump in touch the bottom while blowing out bubbles. He swam across the pool with little assistance on his tummy and his back.

Here are a few shots from the past two weeks:

The very first day we spent majority of the class on this bench. Porter is not scared of the water, but he is very shy. No one is going to make him do anything.
