Swim Party!

After a few hours of R&R from Mason's party we headed to Michael's birthday party! Michael is Mary Lea's son, who I mentioned in my birthday post! I've known Mary Lea forever and spent many a summer day swimming at her Granny's and now her parents have a pool for us to swim in!

Thankfully this party was right down the road from our house!

At Mary Lea's party last August, Mason was a little too scared to go down the slide so I was shocked when that was the first thing he wanted to do. He is in swim lessons still but at my parent's house he has still been wearing either a life jacket or floaties. After two trips down the slide with his floaties he decided he didn't need them anymore!! Hooray for Mason! I was a little bit of a nervous wreck because not only did he not want his floaties but he also decided to swim under water and dive for things. Therefore there were several occasions when I was in the pool with him but turned my head for a moment and then couldn't see him that I thought he had drowned only to discover he was trying to touch the bottom of the pool! What a transformation!

FLOATIES

NO FLOATIES!


YEP - THAT'S THE DEEP END!

HAVING A LITTLE WATER SQUIRTER FUN

We had a fantastic time at Michael's party! Michael had also just decided the day before that he didn't need his floaties either, must be something about a birthday that makes them braver!

HAPPY 6TH BIRTHDAY MICHAEL!
