Swimming & Gardening

I know it has been a long time since I posted last and not sure why. The past month has been terribly hot and muggy. Thank goodness the pool is open for the kiddo's. The garden is looking good. I got my first zucchini and yellow squash yesterday. Tomato, cucumber, okra will be along soon. I have been getting banana peppers for a couple of weeks. It was starting to get really dry and thought I was going to have to water, but we had a nice rain today. Craig's family wasn't able to come tonight. We missed them and Mitchell was really upset that Nolen & Trevor were not going to be here. You hardly ever see him cry, but he sure did when he found out they weren't going to be here.
Now that the pool is open that is the first place the boys go when they get here on Thursday's. I was in the kitchen, so didn't get any pics of them in the pool last week. I did get a couple of shots of them playing on the trampoline with the sprinkler spraying them.

Shelby loves the water.
Mitchell started out the night holding his nose and jumping off the side of the pool. He made real progress from last week.






Mitchell was wanting to dive to the bottom of the pool to get quarters. At first he was holding his nose, but John would have to push him down. John showed him how to blow out his nose so he could go down. It didn't take him long to learn and he was getting to the bottom in no time.
By the end of the night he was swimming across the pool without holding his nose. Shelby wasn't her normal happy self tonight. You can't tell it in this picture though. Garden is coming along good. Thank goodness for the rain today. Everything was getting dry.

Mitchell is a little fishy! I love the pics of him jumping in from the side of the pool, so cute. The garden looks great. I am going to try and grow a few things in containers like tomatoes, herbs, etc. I'll let you know when I start! Love you.
