It's hot here, really really hot! So we have been hitting the pool almost everyday to beat the heat. We usually have it to ourselves and the kids and I love spending our afternoons just hanging and playing in the pool to stay cool! Paxton is doing awesome with his swimming. His swim teacher said he has the best stroke she has ever seen for a five year old! He is just really getting the hang of it. He can now to do freestyle and backstroke the entire length of an Olympic size pool. He's also pretty proud of his handstand that he just learned to do! His daddy is an awesome swimmer so he must have gotten it from him (once again, the athletic gene is NOT from me!)
Lorelei is putting her face in and and blowing bubbles now. She is also starting to go all the way under by herself. She is definitely more timid of the water without her Barbie floaties. She will swim all over the place with those babies on, but without them she's not so sure.
Doing his handstand!
Lorelei insists on wearing her Barbie goggles all the time in the pool!
Face in!
That's a proud face right there!
Showing off his freestyle.
Here is the other place we have been cooling off this summer, the 3-D shark slip n' slide! We actually had another one that was much smaller but Paxton kept catapulting off the end of it so we upgraded to a bigger size. The kids love this thing! 
They of course have to wear the 3-D goggles for the special effect!
SPLASH!!
Lorelei needs a little help from daddy. She doesn't quite have that run, jump and slide thing down yet.
Now that's a picture of little boy happiness!
Crash! Hope you are staying cool this summer too!
