The Jenkins had us over to swim last weekend, and the girls played their little hearts out!  It was such a wonderful day with our neighbors and their sweet family!

 

Noelle is taking off with swimming this summer!  So excited she is our first Pond family fish!  She can swim on her back the length of the pool and anywhere and everywhere you ask!  She is so confident in the water, which is new this summer!  So excited she is enjoying the water so much and her new found freedom!

  

Don’t think Rose will be hidden from the limelight at all… our third little diva rocks it out and holds her own!  Go Rose!  Sydney and Noelle had fun jumping off the fountain wall together over and over again!

 

Lucy and Rose had fun playing together, and there go the big girls jumping as high as they can!

 

Ahh… the good life!  Noelle floated and floated today!  Can’t wait to start swimming lessons with Anna Kate next week!  We’ll keep ya posted on her progress.  She’s our “stair girl” so hoping it’s not too traumatic for her.  She’ll love it once she has the courage to get off the stairs and kick around a little.  Anna Kate is the center stage with so many things, but timid and shy with others.  Swimming is just not her thing, and it has always been to my advantage because I always know where she is, so keeping an eye on her is easy with 3 in the pool, but for her sake, she needs to experience the joy of swimming.  My Granny (Mary Arnett) never learned to swim, even though she tried and tried.  I want my girls to learn while they are young, so it will be easier to overcome their fear of water.  We’re excited what else the summer has in store!
