Mer-boys

These guys are turning into little fish. They have improved their swimming skills by leap and bounds. It's all they want to do!

Super-E *has* to have his goggles on at all times!

He can go under and dive for things on the pool floor.

I-guy wore floaties to build up his confidence from being dunked repeatedly by the swimming instructor.

He was floating around on his back (above) and jumping in with no problems by the end of the weekend.

Thanks goodness Uncle T-bone has a pool. We can go over whenever we want.

Beatin' the Heat

It's hard wanting to go outside in the kind of heat we're having. Good thing for buckets of water and huge frozen ice cubes with toys inside. Kept these guys happy for a good couple of hours.
