Summer is Here!

Afton started swimming lessons and just LOVES going to the pool every day. She's learning to put her face in the water and all the little basics of swimming. Some days she is more brave than others, but she's always game for jumping in from the side. Always the daredevil jumper!

This is an underwater shot. They pretty much had to just push her down, quickly snap the pic, and deal with her shock after she came back up. You can kind of see the little panic in her face as she looks up to the top. It would be sad if I didn't know she was completely fine the whole time.
Now that it is hot during the days, we usually have a popsicle treat. One day when Jared got home from work he took the kids outside to eat some sherbet ice cream. They were stuck to him like glue! Ben is so into these cold treats that if he doesn't get a bite soon enough for his liking he starts to squeal and scream and throw a fit. It is kind of funny, but I'm a little scared for things to come if he gets so mad about not getting a bite soon enough!

We went to a little outdoor concert last week downtown. It was fun to hear live music and introduce the kids to that. But the strange-os were out in force. People BINGO at it's best.
Notice 1)the man in a leather indian dress including leg warmers doing interpretive dance 2)nearly naked man with only a cowboy hat and boxer shorts dancing way too fast for the lack of clothing he was wearing and 3)grandpa with bright pink shorts on who would do this twitchy little kick-spin combo that was killer. By the way, that's Ryan Shupe and the Rubber Band playing in the background. Blast from the past college memories!
