Swimming!!

We went swimming today at The Bay water park in Broomfield with our friend Meryt and her two girls. Marissa is Jacqueline's age, and Aiden turned one in June. Seeing the differences between her and Leah are so mind boggling, just like the way it used to be with Jacqueline and her friend Jill, because Leah and Aiden will be in the same grade in school. Here are a few pictures. Both girls loved the water! There were two pools that we played in. One was only 1 1/2 feet deep and both Jacqueline and Leah, along with Marissa, had a blast playing in it. The other, I don't know how deep it got, but probably around 5 feet. Jacqueline and Marissa kept going out into deep water, mostly chest deep, and had to be rescued once from water up to her chin! She was fine, it was Meryt and I who weren't. :) These pictures were taken right at the end, and Leah was happier out of the water than in. Jacqueline would have stayed for hours more (we were there for 4) if we let her!


In this picture, you can see the black in her fingernails from scratching at the mold in between concrete squares. Yucko! We couldn't get her to stop!

Here is a video of Leah I took at the end. She was content on land.


After a day and a half of men working, our waterfall and pond are working. Not really the safest thing with kids, but surprisingly, they are really good around it. The day care kids haven't even noticed it, so that is a huge plus! We have major plans to get a cover for the pond, and fence off the top as well. The sounds are great and very relaxing. Here are a couple pictures Casey took tonight while I was at Mom's Night Out.
Leah was excited about the water.... hence the weird look, mouth open (saying "water") and pointing. :)
A pose? Not really sure what she is doing here, but it's super cute!
