We love being outside

Sunday, July 18, 2010

We are enjoying being outside in the yard and pool. Jason has been hard at work getting the barn all cleaned up. He has finally got it looking really nice after putting in several weeks of sweat and tears. Ok, I don't think there were any tears from him but there were definitely some from Piper when he gave her the task of sweeping the barn floor. It was too dirty of a job for her and she was not a happy princess.
The girls are getting brave in the pool. Piper has finally realized she can touch the bottom and has started working on learning to swim. She does a modified dog paddle/treading water technique and it works for her. Reagan is working on holding her breath and sliding into the pool with a noodle. Most of her face is dunked and she just pops up and takes a breath and goes on swimming. It's so much fun to watch them.
The neighbor's horse which we call "Pretty Boy" because he doesn't have a name that we know of. The neighbor kind of grunts and says call him whatever. I haven't figured our neighbor out yet even though we've had several conversations. He's a nice guy but doesn't say a lot.
So, Pretty Boy comes up to the little bit of pasture in our back yard and we get a chance to pet him and talk to him. He's a nice horse and we love seeing him around, I am so glad we have him around but he's not our responsibility.













Jason loves to vacuum the pool, it gives him a good excuse to jump in with the girls and keep busy while they all swim.
