We spent a week in Texas with Lindsey’s family over the Fourth of July. Uncle Scott was in from Afghanistan at the same time, so we were very happy to have everyone together. The holiday was spent playing in the pool, drinking margaritas, and eating BBQ ribs.
We were particularly impressed with Avery’s increased confidence in the pool over the course of the week. Although he’s taken swimming lessons and been in and around pools often, Avery has always been very cautious in the water. But by the end of this trip, he was swimming underwater between Mommy and Daddy. Each time he came up, he took a breath, said “again,” and dove back under water. The pool really wore him out and he took some good naps while in Texas.
