Reliving my childhood...with my kids

We've been escaping the soupy heat here at our house by spending time in our 82 degree pool water. I can't lie, it's been fabulous! I know I've mentioned it before, but are  you really aware of how entertaining my sister can be? No, I didn't think so. You could really only know if you had grown up with her like I did.

Now, I did not know until recently that my sister has this odd affinity for synchronized swimming. (You know where this is going, right? lol) So yesterday, in the tradition of our childhood and living her dream, we tried it in our little pool. Angie, Jordan, and I all tried to do some things together (while treading water with our hands to hold us up) It was a huge giggle fest, especially after we all started taking turns making up new moves. We never really got back to the synchronized part, but it was very much like my childhood in the town pool with my sister back in the 80's. I even did my longest handstand (as an adult...in a shallow pool) this season. I hear the landing was quite nice. lol Jaxon even got in on it, though he didn't do to many moves on his own, doing most moves with one of the three of us.

(this photo is not from yesterday, it's from the beginning of summer. That kid on the right is my friend's son.)

We're an entertaining crew, and I'm sore all over today. :o)
