The Annual *4th of July* Pool Olympics at Southern Hills:
It began with the 4 and under Money $ Dive
My little competitive dude went for it!
And I mean all out!
His peeps ended up jumping in to gather his loot!
WHOA! Someone is proud of himself...BIG time!!
Ella decides to try out the Big White Slide for her very first time - she just hit the height requirement this summer!
Abby went 1st to show her "how easy" it was
A little hesitant...but just brave enough
This one is a whole 'nother story - no fear whatsoever!
Boys 8 and under "Dive Competition" - Big O decided he wanted to participate - even tho he has no idear how to dive just yet!
Due to 100% effort, he still received some 6's from the judges :-)
Abby got 2nd place - shhhh...don't tell anyone - but there were only 2 girls competing :-)
Still feels good to get a medal!
Boys & Girls 12 and Under Dive Competition
Although he's never had a diving lesson, this boy's got game!
He did a forward dive, a forward somersault, a back flip & a pike dive
His unique Back Flip got awarded the one & only *10* of the day...it was AWESOME!
Willster went home with 1st Place!
I was soooo proud of my boy! I just love kids who will take risks and go for it!!
Girls 8 and under Free Style Swim
Ella was awarded 3rd place - not bad for a girl who didn't learn how to "really" swim until she was 6 1/2! I was so proud of my little flower who usually doesn't like to get out of the boat...
Girls 12 and Under Swim
Go Abby Go!
2nd Place Winner :-)
After over 3 hours of Pool Olympics, we had some veeeery tired little people.
We were gonna let O skip his nap due to a busy schedule, but the next thing we know we found him on his bedroom floor out like a light!
Next Holiday Stop ~ Nana & Grandad's for Swimming & Ribs!
We love spending time there...it's an annual tradition!
Uncle Jeff entertains all the cousins with a homemade *Fireworks Show!
3rd & Final Stop: Southern Hills Annual Fireworks Show
Every year I get such JOY from watching all the red, white & blue dressed kiddo's run wild across the greens playing frisbee, football, doing cartwheels - and of course, rolling down the hill in their new white shirts! :-) Luckily, my honey reminded me of this tradition, so I quickly changed my lil guy's shirt to something of the older sort. :-)
Dear Friends joined us for all the Fun!
Abby with her B/F/F Lauragale ~ snacking on yummy snow cones
Susie Q loving on the lil' ladies during the show!
After 8 1/2 days out of the country, it was so meaningful to be back home with friends & family giving thanks to God for blessing us with One, Amazing Country. I Love the USA!!!
