The Wet life....

I have often said that I would rather have a pool than a house. My poor kids feel the effects of my wishful dream every summer as we spend every waking hour (ok, well not that much time, but a lot of it anyway) at the pool. This summer was spent teaching swimming lessons and helping with swim team so that my kids could swim on the team. It was so much fun. We are all fifty shades darker than we started. (Yes, we used three bottles or more of sunscreen), but still. They kids have become great swimmers and I am so happy that they love it as much as I do. :)

Goodbye Summer 2008!

I love summer! I love that the kids can play outside in the grass without shoes, socks and in Joey's case sometimes, clothes.



I love being able to go to McDonald's on a nice summer day and enjoy the playground and dollar menu....

I love the countless hours that are spent at the pool. I don't know about the rest of you, but I personally think that the family pass was the best invention ever made by man. Until we strike it rich and can build a pool or move lakeside, the summer pass is the way to go. We spend as much time at the pool during the summer as we can. Whether it is for family swim, swim team, or just for the heck of it, the pool is definately the place to be!

I also love summer because of the things you can do outside that shouldn't be done inside. You know, like watermelon and koolade on the trampoline. I love the water hose. After the family swim pass, it is the second best thing ever.

Anyway, I will really miss the summer, oh but wait! We live in Arizona, which means that we will be able to wear shorts till Thanksgiving and the water hose doesn't really freeze until well into January. McDonald's is open year round, so I guess we're good.

So, I guess I will enjoy the rest of the summer and wait until my next favorite season to come. Winter.....
