summer swimming

This week, we had a few opportunities to swim...or at least to cool off in the water. Finn was a little cautious about getting into the Henry's hot tub (they're keeping it cool for the summer), but he slowly became more comfortable.


He really got a kick out of splashing Dad & Pappa. We hope he doesn't try this out on other kids the next time we swim. :\


On Wednesday morning we got another chance to swim in a great big, outdoor pool. A couple from our church has a pool that they let anyone use whenever we want! So we met the Chases, Ruddicks & Carolyn for some pool fun! It took a bit to figure out which floaties worked best for Finn. In the end, water wings & a small blow-up ring helped Finn feel the most confident in the water. We need to go swimming more to help him get used to the water. He had a great time & didn't want to get out. He seemed to want to go down the slide, but we weren't ready to let him try that one. ;) I think he would have been shocked by landing in the water instead of on the ground!
