Labor Day getaway

We decided to make a trip to Kim & Seth's in Connecticut over the long weekend. We just had to have one go at their pool before it got too cold and to visit of course. It was so fun to just lounge by the pool, while Ben tried to give the kids some mini swimming lessons. Side note-I was pregnant sick most of the summer, so my kids didn't get a lot of pool time unfortunately. Cam took quite well to the water.

Kaylee was such a good swimmer. Who's heard of swimming by yourself at 4 years old? A prodigy I suppose. Maddie was another story.
All geared up.
Surprisingly all smiles.
This was one of a very few smiles in the beginning...but then once she was off by herself with her friends, she got more comfortable, thank goodness.We had such a fun time at with the Palmers. It's so nice to be just close enough to see them often. Then we made it back home for some actual "labor" at our house. Me-painting our stairs, and Ben redoing a lot of plumbing to get our water temp and pressure normal. And he did it! He amazes me all the time!
