Water Sports

The Pools are officially open for Summer so I know where you will find us most days. There is no better way to beat the Texas Heat than swimming or splashing at the Splash Pad. Yesterday afternoon we loaded up and headed to one of our favorite pools. Tyler has been so excited about Ghee and Poppy's pool opening up (my parents have a membership to a pool that we love, and they let us be their guests. Thank you!) Tyler called Poppy first thing yesterday Morning to see if he could go swimming, and of course the answer was yes.
This year the pool has added 2 basketball hoops, so guess who wanted to play basketball? Our little sports addict, of course. Tyler found a perfect spot for shooting hoops, riding on Daddy's Shoulders. The laughter and smile on Tyler's face while he played basketball yesterday with Poppy, Ghee, and Daddy was priceless, and moments like that bring absolute joy and peace to my heart.
Ty is still a little timid in the bog pool, but he is a fish in the kiddie pool... hopefully, swim lessons and some more water time this summer will help ease his fears. I feel like each Summer we have to start with baby steps, but the more we go the more comfortable he becomes.
Tomorrow we are hitting the water park with some Friends, so I am sure you will begin to see a pattern in our summer activities. There is noting better than swim suites, sun tan lotion, flip flops, and plenty of splashing and laughter to beat the heat.
