Taking a Dip

This is how the kids spent their time when we were not at one of the Disney Parks. It was still kind of chilly in March for swimming so the pool was heated. These kids were spoiled!









And in the evening after a long day of walking we would come home and soak our sore feet and bodies in this jacuzzi.

I am totally retiring in Orlando!

until next year....

This is how we spent our last day of summer. We will miss the lazy days of hanging out at the pool. Monday we go back to busy, busy, busy.

PS... have you ever seen one of these? The kids found this bug hanging out at the pool. They were calling it a jalapeno dragonfly...I guess I need to google it.

Kate's Pool Party Birthday

Kate wanted a pool party for her 6th birthday so that is exactly what we did. It was super fun and easy. I love planning that kind of party. We held it at one of community pools and it worked out perfectly.

Still Here

We are still alive...nothing new or exciting is going on. We are just trying to endure the Texas heat and trying not to melt in the process. We are going on our 24th day of over 100 degree temperatures. In fact, on Friday we officially hit 107 and today it is suppose to get to 105.
So this how we spend our days............................

Pool Party

Joshua's teacher, Mrs. Fahrney, had a pool party at her house for all of her students. Her backyard was so beautiful. Only 7 kids showed up, but they still had so much fun. Her pool has a diving, which Joshua absolutely loved. I was worried about him diving off into a 10 foot pool.........so the first few times I had him jump off with a noodle, but he is such a little fish that I learned very quickly he didn't need it. He swam all over that pool with out any problems. Thank you, Mrs. Fahrney for a great year.... we will miss you!!

Down Time

This is what we did when we were not at any of the Disney Parks. The house we rented had a fabulous pool. It was to cold for me to get in, but the kids absolutely loved it. The pool was totally screened so we didn't have to deal with any yucky Florida bugs. While the kids would swim I just lounged around and ate. It was so relaxing and peaceful.

Last Day of Summer Vacation

This is how we spent the last day of our summer vacaction. We loved going to the pool 3 to 4 times a week. It was to hot to do anything else. Tomorrow is the first day of school and the beginning of being busy. I am ready for the routine of school, but I will miss being lazy just sitting by the pool.





Braeden really wanted me to get a picture of him jumping into the pool, but my camera stinks. I took picture after picture and this is the best I got......a foot.

Fun in the Sun!

We love our new community pool. There is a sprinkler park, a big pool, and a kiddie pool. We have spent a lot of time there (when its not raining). We pack a cooler and some snacks and spend the day relaxing in the cool water. Their hair has become naturally highlighted by the sun and their bodies are turning a nice golden brown.
