Swimming at the pool

When you take 500 pictures over a week's vacation, it becomes difficult to sort through all of them. Here is a sampling of the kids swimming - which they seemed to want to do more than play in the sand. Why didn't we just go on vacation to the city of Huntsville pool?

Grammie bought the kids new floats, but with both girls starting to swim independently, the floats didn't get as much use this year.

We had to tell Reagan to quit jumping in - while trying to get a dive stick, she kept flopping in on her belly. Ouch.

Jake wanted nothing to do with the baby pool. He wanted to be with his sisters, but his movement in the pool was hampered by the water wings.

Reagan loved the challenge of going under the water to get the dive sticks.
