TONS of Memorial Day Pictures!

For Memorial Day this year we did the usual and went over to Grandma and Pa-ba Schlenker's house for a BBQ and some polar bear swimming!

I think that Pa-ba pulled out the bubbles to try and deter the kiddlets from wanting to swim in the pool because it was SO cold and there was no way I was going to get in. When it is cold it is either Grandpa, or they don't swim! I know, I am so mean!

as hard as he tried, even the fun new sprinkler wouldn't keep them away from the pool for long!

Cute picture with Aunite Becca!

Luke started by sitting on the side of the pool with his feet in the water and for a little bit he was content...

...until he saw Taylie jump into the pool and start having some fun with Grandpa

then he thought...

I WANT TO TOO!!!!!!

Last summer he was such a grouch! He would last maybe 10 minutes and scowled the whole time. This year, he followed Taylie's lead and jumped right into the 70 degree water and loved it!

Do you think he is having fun?!

They kept taking turns jumping off the side to Grandpa, who would catch them and swim with them for awhile. He is such a champ and my kids are so luck to have him for a grandpa. I mean, how many of you would jump into 70 degree water every memorial day just to make a couple of toddlers happy? I wouldn't.

We finally had to force them to get out when they were shivering, and even when we told them it was time to get out, Luke would let his body go limp so Grandpa would have to catch him so he wouldn't fall in the pool. Then he kept saying "1 more! 1 more! 1 more!" and would jump in as soon as his feet hit the ladder. No matter how cold he was, he didn't want to get out!

This summer is going to be much better with a happy boy to swim with!
