It is no secrete that Owen LOVES LOVES LOVES all things that have to do with water. Well, he was in for a very special treat when we went to my parents house at the beginning of August and he got to swim in their pool for the first time all summer. Of course I took him in last year, but he just floated around sitting nicely in his float. This year was a whole new experience as he is Mr. Independent and wanted to swim all by himself. He loved the water as soon as I pulled him in and he didn't want to be held at all. He sucked in a lot of water at first and did a few fish flops, but after our 3rd dip in for the day (yes we played outside in and out of the pool for 3 hours) he started to get the hang of swimming all on his own. He can float and kick all by himself and laughs and giggles the whole time he is in the pool. Heck, maybe he will be the next Michael Phelps ;).
Ready to go swimming
So happy
All of this swimming is making me thirsty, let me take a quick drink

Playing at the water table
Having so much fun!
The bird bath is also fun
Durning our visit in Westfield we also got to check out the towns new splash park with Gigi (hehe my Grammie). Owen was a little grumpy that morning but perked right up when he got to play in the water! It was the perfect activity for such a hot day.
