July 4th came one day late at our house, but was so much fun just the same....minus the fireworks! You may have already seen Kelley's blog....and if not, go here...to view a GREAT cannonball by the newest little swimmer in our fam, as well as some incredible cupcakes!
It was just fun to all be together, to eat and swim and laugh and eat, and eat and eat. Kel and Patrick, Julie a nd Ryan, and Doug all did diving board feats, that gave us some laughs. And truly, I now wonder why I didn't have my camera going for those !! Between very BIG cannonballs, to the guys trying to point their toes to enter the water with the least splash, it was quite a site!
Meanwhile, Julie and Jake and I hung out in the shallow end, just relaxing....
Kelley got to entertain Jake for awhile, too. He forgot his own hat, so we rounded one up and he did pretty well at keeping it on.....
And this post wouldn't be complete without one more performance from Logan Emily....and this wouldn't be just ANY performance, but the inaugural one! So as you watch, the kicker is the 'thumbs up' after every single jump....and darn! Buster was in the way, but ck out the arm-pump at the very end. She kills me!
So the day ended up being bittersweet....Julie ended up on the couch...not feeling up to par and she had to miss the food! ( You KNOW she wasn't feeling good if she, of all peeps, skipped the food!) Then to top it all, after they got home, we got a phone call that she thinks she lost her DIAMOND earring in the pool on one of her "attempts" at a cannonball. It was dark out, but
with the pool light on, a good set of eyes, and Doug with a mask, voila!.....we produced the lost earring! Whew!
