Another summer day

During the last week we swam ALOT. With temperatures in the HIGH 90's we were in the pool a couple of time each day. The grandchildren talked Buck into going swimming with them. He LOVED it. We've been visited by a few frogs this summer but thankfully ~ NO tadpoles.

Ever have one of those days??

Sarah has taken swimming lessons so she was comfortable in the water.

We got the treading water move DOWN!

The "royal boat" was utilized by all.

Princess Sarah seems to be enjoying her turn.

Claire and Sarah delighted in pushing Buck back into the pool.

"Come on out, Granddad", they would say.

Then a GIANT splash!

giggles followed

The girls had never been bowling and since the boys enjoy it we decided to go one day. Topher, Sarah, and Claire get to use the bumpers. Too bad we can't ALL do that, right?

Kim is a good bowler with her own unique form.

Claire's first ball stopped

before it reached the pins.

Topher gets low.

Jakob's second time

to bowl without bumpers,

and he didn't fall down once!

Skoot had the fastest ball ~ over 15 mph!

Sarah had her own style.
One of Claire's favorite parts
was waiting for the ball to return.
She would peek in the hole
to see if if was coming yet.

Sarah scored 82,

Claire 81,

Jennifer 75,

and I managed a 109.

Didn't get a photo of the other screen

but I know Skoot beat Kim

and Topher beat Jakob.

Not a bad day!
