pb&jtime: The Summer of Swimming

Auntie Kerry has a rockin' pool in her yard. It has been years since it was open and operational - primarily due to time and finances. This summer we talked about opening in the pool and decided to all pitch in to get it up and running. It was one of the best decisions as we had such a hot summer. We spent nearly every Sunday at Auntie Kerry's for Family Fun Day and Tate and I each took one or two turns drifting in the pool looking up at the stars after the boys were asleep.
The boys started the summer a little reluctant to let go of the ladder, even with their water wings on. They ended the summer begging to take their water wings off - jumping in and swimming by themselves back to the ladder. Looking back on summer our family pool time is at the top of my favorites list! Special thank you to Auntie Kerry and Auntie Nancy for hosting us, always having a stack of beach towels ready, planning and preparing many lunches and dinners and for doing all the required pool maintenance. It really was like having our own private country club!
