POOL DAYS ARE WINDING DOWN

Of course, the hot weather will be around a bit longer, but the pools will be closing their doors in just a few weeks. So, I took this opportunity today to get some final shots of the girls swimming. They've really come a long way this summer with regard to their comfort level in the water. They've always loved the water but now they explore a bit farther from the pool edge and test their boundaries. In May, Sydney was barely willing to put her head under water. Now, she's jumping off diving boards into the deep end of the pool and swimming or treading her way to the edge or something else to grab a hold of. As for Sarah, she floats and paddles here way all over the pool as long as she has that styrofoam noodle to hang on to.

I am definitely excited about Fall weather coming, but I'll really miss these summer days with Sydney and Sarah at these ages.
