Just keep swimming....

We were invited out to our friends parents' home so Jared could help with some wood cutting and the kids could swim. When we first got there Amanda showed us where the pool was and got the cover off so the kids could go swimming. Then they all headed out for some hard work..bummer, I had to just stay and read a book by the pool while the big kids swam and Kate played in her pack n play ;).

Then it started to rain and everyone came in from working and hopped in the pool. Kate got to put on her 2 piece bikini and go swimming with Daddy for the first time ever. She loved it. She even went under water...the second dunking didn't go as well as the first.

Jack and Grace were so excited to be at a house with an indoor pool and asked Amanda a couple (hundred) times if we could trade houses with them :). Jack is pretty sure that when we sell our house and move into another house that we NEED to put a small addition on it like this:

Then, it got really fun...the volleyball net went up and a high paced volleyball game was underway with Jack and Grace helping each team.

By this time Kate had enough of swimming so out she came and thought she was so funny hiding in the towel and peeking out. She actually started laughing at herself :).

We had a terrific dinner and Amanda even made Jared his favorite cake (Texas Sheet Cake) for his birthday. If you're reading this Amanda....Thank you so much, you spoil us!
