What our August looked like...

It seemed the kids were in water more than out of it this summer. The amount of towels we went through in August was shocking! I should have kept track. Both Jill and Mia made big strides in swimming this summer. Jill went from barely wanting to put her face in to swimming all over the "big" pool. She also discovered boogie boarding and is getting braver every time we go to the beach. Mia is not quite swimming everywhere by herself but she can swim out to me and back to the side again. Last night Lucas coaxed Mia into jumping in off the "high dive". At first she would have none of it even though he offered her several pennies and a trip to the yogurt shack. Finally he asked what she would want if she could have anything in the world. Without hesitation she said she would like pink. So he told her he would give her two pinks if she would jump off and so of course she did.
