Switch Up - Swimming

While Derek was gone on his California hunt, we went to the 'iPhone swallowing' lake again.  Only this time we switched it up and went across the pond to the neighbor's house. 

They were gone on vacation and had given our friends permission to use the pool in their absence.

So we did! :)   It was a super fun (and gorgeous) little pool.  It had a slide...

And a diving board.

The was a lot of sliding.

And a little lounging.  

At the end, Miles took his water wings off and realized he could touch in the entire shallow end.  So him and I stayed just a little longer than the others.

Which he thanked me for.

Then, of course, we did a little fishing before we left.

You can see the house we had been swimming at across the lake.

Cooper caught the only fish that day.

Well... there was a minnow too.  Jessica totally knows Miles' love language, she spent a lot of time waiting for one of the tiny little fish Miles had spotted to swim into her pitcher. 

But one finally did!

Then the poor little thing got picked on a little.

 It tried to evade the boys...

But they got him!

And held him.  Eww. 

It was a nice afternoon and a good distraction from Derek being gone.

...and my boys slept really well that night!

To end, because I like videos, here is one showing the fun.  I apologize that it's so long.  And also for you having to listen to me yelling at Miles to "sit down on his bottom".  Ha.
