Cannonball!! Well more like a flop...

This week we have seen an big jump, no pun intended, in the kids swimming skills. Both boys have taken the floaties and life vest off, and are swimming! They even began jumping into the water and swimming back to the edge. We are trying to keep them swimming as much as possible this last part of summer, so we can really sharpen these new skills. Good thing we can swim until October in Vegas! We may even have to try out the public pool under the bubble this winter.
While swimming at Pipa and Grandma Joan's we noticed two hummingbirds that kept flying in to check on the little nest that has been there for a few years. We climbed the ladder and found 3 tiny, jelly bean sized eggs. We will go check them today or tomorrow to see if they have hatched. For now the swing the nest is attached to is off limits.

Toby just flops in, but Sam was getting fancy with a spin in the air!

Yesterday we celebrated Chase's 2nd birthday with more swimming and jumping into the pool. The Herb's pool has a higher ledge so they can really catch some air. Jeff was teaching them to dive, and they are working on getting down low enough to touch the bottom of the pool.
