swimming after hot dogs and cake ..

after we were full of hot dogs .. cake and ice cream we thought .. or more like the kids thought that we should .. or they .. should go swimming .. 

my suggestion was simply to stick there little piggies in to wash off the sand from the sand box .. somehow that turned into swimming .. 

is the water cold girls .. no not at all 

sweet sweet lucy .. she's the smart one .. she just put her little toes in .. 

cash and hampton .. they turned the raft into a boat ..

poor ross .. he just wanted to say goodbye to the birthday kids .. they gave him a big ole wet wet hug ..

time for tricks .. emma and her big jump ..

go lucy .. 

good one emma ..

hampton and his "canyon ball" ..

they thought it would be fun to swim with the fins .. 

even baby harper got into the pool .. with the bow still in her hair .. she just might be our next little bbq

and what's better than a little sun bathing after a cold swim .. sun bathing with a towel over your face .. the sun causes wrinkles you know .. gabe would be so proud !!
