Madelyn Can Swim

Madelyn has starting swimming on her own.  Kaitlyn learned to swim under water first and then with her head out of water.  Madelyn opts to swim with her head out of water.  We love both of our girls individuality!  And, we love that Madelyn learned to swim this summer and Kaitlyn learned the free style and passed the swim test for the diving board and water slide. It's been a great summer!


Here are some fun pool pictures...

Kaitlyn & Madelyn Playing Tennis

The girls like to play tennis in the driveway, especially Madelyn.  So, I hung a ball from our cherry tree for the girls to hit.  See if it's a 'hit' (haha!).  I think the laughter is my favorite part.

Madelyn Swimming

I have shared a few videos of Kaitlyn swimming, but none of Madelyn.  We finally captured her start to swimming on video.  She loves the water!  Go Madelyn, Go!!

These pictures are from a different day when Madelyn enjoyed playing in the kid pool.

Kites on the mall

We went for another bike ride on the Mall.  Kaitlyn requested that we picnic by the Washington Monument.  Much to our delight, several people were flying kites.  We enjoyed all enjoyed watching it!
