Diving In...


What a great weekend... Took a litle blog vacation and spent some much needed time outside. Also spent a little too much time in the sun and got really burned! So now as I am typing this, I am wrapped up in a blanket shivering.

The pool water yesterday was at a very comfy 85 degrees. It felt great! Ava, the daredevil, was convinced that she should be able to dive right in like the big boys. So there was a lot of screaming and fit throwing till we convinced her she couldn't. One big mouthful of water settled her down a little. Finally, outfitted in her built in life jacket swim suit and pretty pink floaties, she learned to be content sitting on the steps pouring water in and out of cups while yelling "cannonball." At least she was in the spirit of it. She will be a worry all summer. She has no fear.

Jaden was slow getting back into the whole swimming thing, but it didn't take him long to pick up where he left off last year. Austin did countless flips and flops of the board. Ethan spent most of the day on a four wheeler. Too cool to swim these days I think.

Summer is here as far as the Jones' are concerned and we are diving in head first. Cause before we know it, it will be a memory.
