An Afternoon, Poolside

This week, I  had the pleasure of spending the afternoon at the pool with six of my children and my grandson! My neighbor has a beautiful in-ground pool on which she spends her time and money  to maintain in refreshingly clean condition. She has invited us to swim over the last two or three years.What a treat!
Jeff had a four day weekend because of the 4th and it was so much fun to have him with us. He gave some diving tips to the kids. Parents of adult children know what a gift it is to be able to spend time with them.It means so much that they choose to be with you.We all enjoyed being able to share this little piece of heaven with Jeff.
Sam played with the ball and created huge waves by pulling it underwater. He helped the little guy ladle water  into a bucket on the side.
Miss J. has hit another milestone and can swim underwater.
John hitched a ride in this picture but usually swims around very well.

The little guy is a natural-born water baby. His father LOVES the water and so does the G-man.
       Fortunately, I love to be out in the sun and don't mind taking the crew swimming when possible.We appreciate so much the generous hospitality of our neighbor who allows us to swim and sun in her fantastic pool!
