Footloose and floaty free

Avery came to the pool today and we all had a blast!

Avery showed off her new swimming skills, so Max tried it, too!  Not only did Max do a great job swimming but he jumped off the diving board and swam to the wall with no floaty a million times.  He was able to tread water and breathe;  it would have been a whole lot easier if he did not try to have an entire conversation while swimming.  "LOOK AT ME!!"  "AVERY!" "I'M SWIMMING!" 
It was very exciting and Kira truly enjoyed splashing in the water while cheering him on. 

Kira loved Avery so much that she wanted to spend a lot of time in the water with her and Max. It also might have helped that it was a thousand degrees outside and the typically fridgid pool water was finally warm.

"AVERY!" Kira screamed as she supervised her walk up the water slide.  Kira went down once (into daddy's arms!) and she did not cry but, "no!", she did not want to do it again.

Max was so excited to see Avery that he waited outside 

Max (and Kira now!) loves playing restaurant.  His favorite part seems to be using not one, but two pens, to write down orders.  Unfortunatly his restaurant is extremely expensive ($20 for a slice of turkey bacon) and they are usually out of most foods. "No, sorry, we don't have that today!" he says 95% of the time.

Kira was happy to oblige and partake in Max's dress-up obsession 


Finally Kira is awake (7am) we have been waiting or her for TWO HOURS...
