Water, water, water!

Mid-May Asher was excited to have a day hot enough to get out the sprinkler. Running through the water was fun, but so was trying to spray dad with the hose!


In anticipation of Asher starting swimming lessons for the 1st time, we took Asher and Katelyn swimming at the W. We were glad to see that Katelyn's enthusiasm was contagious. He was a little hesitant the first day of lessons, but soon he was kicking his feet and trying to float with dad.

Asher tends to be too busy with pretend play to want to swim on vacation. So, I was surprised last weekend (when we were at the hotel in St. Paul) that Asher asked with disappointment why we had not brought his swim trunks so he could swim in the hotel's swimming pool. I think we will have a lot more days spent at the Waverly and Shell Rock swimming pools now that they are open and Asher is so ready to get in the water!
