Back to Swimming

After visiting our friends, we spent the night at my parents' house and drove to the lake. My sister rode with us and I'm sure she enjoyed listening to the Highwaymen singing "Highwayman" each of the 20 times she heard it! Henry ended up falling asleep early that night so Walter and Nate went for a swim together.




Little Swimmer


Eating up a little alone time with Dad.


Big jump!


A beautiful, calm night...perfect for swimming.


Henry loves playing with his "Bucket O' Soldiers" at the lake. Notice how he has his tanks all lined up.


W's not as interested in the army guys, but he wants to be doing whatever his big brother is doing...


Boppa recently introduced Walter to shaving cream - as you can see, he likes it.



Working hard


This isn't a great picture, but I have to include it because it reminds me of the new things Henry did this summer. He started putting his head under the water while swimming, "diving" for items in the pool, swimming on his own without help from Dad, and for the first time, and was able to swim out to the raft at the lake to play with the big cousins...without Mom or Dad being with him (but watching from the dock)! He's definitely growing up.


Having fun with the "short/little Mimis" (his cousins).


Pretending to be a pirate.


Starting to swim on his own.


Henry loves being able to swim out further with the older cousins this year.


The sure love swimming with Dad.
