swimming at great grandma's

On Friday we were invited to go to Great Grandma's to go swimming with Marks dad and step-mom. We happened to have Carson and Ashley playing at our house at the time so we decided to go and bring them along with us!

Great Grandma has a really big above water pool in her back yard. It doesn't get very deep (maybe 4 feet at the highest?) but it is so big that there is plenty of room for LOTS of people to swim all at once. When we got there we found grandpa, grandma, Austin and Jordan (Mark's uncle's boys), Uncle Josh, Dakota and Khia!

Levi was so excited to get right in--no surprise there! (that's Austin and Jordan in the background)and Isaiah was a little more timid (I was surprised with that!). Carson downright refused to get in for the first half hour or so, but for the last hour we were there he was found floating around like thisThey even had a little floaty that Ashley got to sit in and enjoy the view. (who needs a swimming suit anyway?)
At one point I was surrounded by little ones, it was fun! (I wasn't kidding when I said BIG pool, see!)
Dakota and Khia are like little fish in the water. I was impressed!
Uncle Josh..The adults were all having fun going from kid to kid. We did require all the kids to have life jackets on or floaty arms (or both) to be in the pool -- but we still followed them around. The kids also had fun sitting on the big raft things..........
Isaiah was more in his element when he was out of the water splashing us with the water toys.
Thanks for having us Great Grandma -- and for inviting us Grandma Cindy! We can't wait to come back again soon!!

It is important to remember that arm floaties and inflatable pool toys are meant to be toys. They should not be substituted for safety equipment and life vests.
