SWIMMING WITH THE COUSINS



Aaron's sister Michelle invited all of the in-town cousins over to swim and grill. We had a blast--- here are some photos:




Simon's first taste of swimming---he wasn't too sure about it.



Aaron was throwing Thomas and Clayton up into the water, (here's Tommy with his flippers on and everything) and Clayton asked to be flipped backwards over Daddy's back. Where he got that idea, I have not a clue! Here it is (I give it a 9.5)




Towards the end of our get-together, Aaron and Nathan started throwing the kids in the pool by holding their arms and legs and doing the ol' 1-2-3 swing and throw. (All of these incredibly safe ideas we're seeing here....) Here are some good shots of that, starting with Clayton (that face is a "woohoo" yell, not a scream of terror as you may think)


Here's Bree:


I could only catch Owen right before the throw, but here's how they were doing it, demonstrated by "Stuntman" Owen:

and Ella



It was really fun, so much fun we followed it up with more of the same one week later for Ella's birthday (Happy Birthday, Ella!!)
