Kaitlyn has taken quite a liking to the swimming pool this year. The other day at Wal Mart she informed me that she needed a snorkel and some new googles since her other pair had broken. I obliged and purchased the said items. At first she wanted to try them out in the tub. I agreed and watched while she donned her new purchases. Next it was out to the pool. She took to it like a fish to water!! The freaky part is when she is chasing you around the pool and laughing through the snorkel. Something just isn't quite right when you hear laughter coming up the tube! She has learned to float and will do it all on her own now. She loves to dive and pick up the dive sticks at the bottom of the pool. She thinks that since she is in the pool every day, she doesn't need a bath at night. I told her she needed to wash her hair and she asked it she could do it in the pool! Now if we could just cure her swimmers ear!

4th of July
I love the 4th of July. Next to Christmas it is my favorite holiday. Nothing beats the smell of gun power on a hot summer night! Unfortunately this year the 4th fell in the middle of the week making it for not much of a holiday. But we tried to make the best of it. Since my parents are on their mission we didn't all get together for the parade but we did make it to the balloons that morning. Kaitlyn loved walking around while they were inflating them. She was able to look up inside the Bank of A.F. piggy bank balloon and was even more excited to watch it take off.
I got tickets for the Stadium of Fire to go see the Beach Boys for their 50th anniversay concert tour. Considering that most of them had to be in their 70's it was a really good show. From the time they came on stage until their final song, they sang the entire time. I got a good laugh watching the "older generation" literally get up and dance in the isles. There was a family next to us that made for some good entertainment! Kaitlyn loved dancing on the benches.
The fireworks as usual didn't disappoint. By the end of the night we were all ready for our beds. To bad we didn't get to see them until about 1:00 in the morning by the time we finally got home!
