What we did all summer

I'm a sad excuse for a blogger.

In an attempt to fill in the blanks of the summer, I thought I'd update with a few pictures over the next couple of days.  

We went swimming nearly every day this summer.  It really is the only way to handle the heat.  The girls loved it, and what pregnant girl isn't looking for a way to shimmy into a bathing suit every day?

At the start of the summer, Abigail wouldn't even get off of the steps with her floaties on.  By the end of the summer, she is a little fish, swimming completely on her own without any floaties.  She took us by surprise with that one.  She hasn't had any lessons, one day she just started swimming.  

Ellie is a dare devil in the pool.  She doesn't want to be held, she wants to be runnin' and gunnin' on her own.  She will jump right in from the side of the pool (or a wall four feet above the pool if it is available).
