Last Swim of the Summer

Our friendships that we've made through Taiwan are so important to us and for Lexie.  We're so lucky that many of these friends have become part of our family.  Although Lexie only met Nolan last year, she just loves spending time with him.  She was so excited when she heard he was coming over for a pool date.  All morning, she was asking when was Nolan going to be here and when she heard that doorbell ring, she went crazy!

They play so well together!  They were pretending to be sharks and chasing each other in the pool.

Then everyone wanted to put the bucket on their heads.

Peyton is contemplating if he should do it too!

They made it look like so much fun!  Why not!?!

The kiddies started to get hungry, so daddy grilled some hot dogs while they took a juice break.

After their lunch, it was ice cream time!  No one wanted to share!

Lexie and Peyton were waiting not so patiently to go back into the water.

These two are so adorable together!!  Can't believe that Pey Pey is 2 years younger than Lexie!

Lexie's middle name is impatient!!  She kept inching her way into the water.  I think she was hoping that she would fall into the pool while she was blowing bubbles in the water.

We finally got the kids to sit for 5 minutes before they were allowed to swim again!  Luckily a helicopter flew by and that kept them occupied for a little while.

Lexie had a fun day and is already asking when Nolan and Peyton can come over to swim again.

There was no naptime after her friends left.  Lexie went back into the pool and played until it was time to clean up.

We had a good laugh while we were deflating the pools.  Daddy decided to let the sides deflate, thinking the water would empty onto the grass, but instead it went out the other side and flooded our lanai.  The water started rising so fast that I had to run across the sidewalk to grab the electric pump, not thinking that I might get electrocuted if it got wet  We were up to our ankles in water and had to sweep it out to the drain.  Lexie had fun jumping in the water.  Even though we wasted all of that water, our lanai did get cleaned because of it!
