Backyard pool, marshmallows and a campfire

Summer arrived in Texas a few weeks ago, so it was time to get out Hannah's pool.  She loved playing in the pool and the sprinkler.  She played with her balls and climbed in and out, in and out.

When she grew tired of the pool, Hannah walked over and said, "I need marshmallow.  And campfire." What?  Where did that come from?  Oh yeah- she had been reading Curious George Goes Camping earlier that day and they roast marshmallows.  So what does Hannah's wonderful father do?  He fulfills his daughter's wish!  Aaron got out some marshmallows, toothpicks and a lighter.  Hannah's reaction: she thought the experience was very fun but one sticky mess was enough for her.

Swim lessons 2012

Hannah and I are enjoying a Mommy & Me swim class this summer.  Last week we mostly just played in the pool, practiced kicks and scoops, and even jumped off the side of the pool- super fun!  Yesterday I had to dunk Hannah's head under the water- I even did it with her- but she was NOT a FAN!!  However, today she went off the diving board! 
Well, more like dropped off and caught immediately.  Hannah had so much fun that she did it again. 

The verdict: swimming and jumping- Yes!  Blowing bubbles and head wet- No!

More Swimmin'

Here are a few more pictures of our time swimming at a friend's house.  Hannah sure does love swimmin'!

Klondike bar

After our swim Dave treated us to a cook out and mint chocolate chip Klondike bars.  Hannah really enjoyed these- her cue that she wanted more: "Yumma!"

Swimming

We were thrilled to visit with Dave last weekend- and so happy to enjoy some swimming pool time as well.  Hannah loved her float but not the arm bands!  She really liked the fountain as well.
