Little Fishies

Well the girls are becoming quite the swimmers. LRM LOVES to dive for rings. She would much rather be under water than above the surface breathing. We are trying to convince her that breathing is an important part of swimming. I'm sure she'll get it. GGM enjoys floating on her back and the occasional dunk under water. Really she just likes kicking back and watching LRM do all the work. We're so glad we have a pool because it's getting HOT here and it's a nice relief to get in and cool down!

4th of July

Happy Independence Day, everyone. We had a nice and relaxing day. LRM and Mommy did some painting during GGM's morning nap. LRM then cleaned off in the water hose - her first time and she really enjoyed it. We had our dear friends over for lunch and swimming. It was the hottest day of the year, up to 116 at our house. After the afternoon naps we went to the neighbors' houses for more swimming and more eating. Then P took the girls home and went to bed. I rode my bike up the street with the neighbors to watch the fireworks show. I got some pretty good shots of the action. Check them out at my Flickr.com account.

We took the kids and all of our friends camping this weekend to the Mogollon Rim. LRM and her friends played in the dirt, played in the water, played with the rocks, played in their tents, played with bugs, played with horny toads, and played with each other. The grown ups drank wine, drank beer, drank Jim Beam, and played Cribbage. The men did some fishing and the women did what they usually do, only they did it outside. All around it was a lot of fun and we are looking forward to our next trip. See more pictures at my Flickr.com site.
