Water Bugs!

Well it is official, Michael and I have turned our amazing little girl into a water bug just like us! :) Not surprised? Well I was a bit worried that she wouldn't love being in the water as much as we do and that we would have to take turns swimming and we couldn't swim together as much anymore, but alas, my fears are for naught! :) My fear started with our new pool and it seemed like Evelyn wanted to be out running on the grass more than in the water... what I think might have caused this in the beginning was the hose water in the pool was quite cooler (she did shiver one time in the water! oops!). Now that it is so bloody hot outside the pool water, and lake water for that matter, is pretty warm, so her skinny little body (all full of 22 lbs) won't start shivering anymore! :) So on July 3rd we went to Mike's aunt and uncle's house on the lake. Turns out Evelyn might have been in the water just as much as Mike and I!! :) It was great and she learned how to 'jump' of the pier, even though it is more like a step off! :)  She goes 'set' and points her finger  (as in "ready set jump") and jumps, but she makes sure mommy or daddy are right there to catch her. This was a blast and she got all worn out from the evening of swimming.

Then on the 4th (after sleeping until 8:20 am new record!) we went to my brother and sister in law's house to swim by them. In the morning we asked Evelyn if she wanted to go swimming and she immediately did her yes head nod all excitedly. Well Mike and I made a big mistake, cause she wanted to go swimming immediately, not wait while we packed up and made our dish to pass! She proceeded to try and get her own swim diaper on (over the regular diaper) and kept whinning and saying 'suit' with an exaggerated 's'! :) Oops! Guess we have now learned only mention swimming shortly before we actually swim! :) The day was great, really hot but we stayed in the water a lot or could escape to the air conditioning in the house if we needed! :)

To bad we had to go back to work today and the short fun little 4th celebration came to a screeching halt! We will just recover from all the fun tonight! :)

Sorry no pictures... I tend to be swimming too... maybe I should get a waterproof camera for all our water fun!? :)
