Swimming this year & last

Today we spent the morning with some of our close friends- Jared, Leah & Reid! We have a great time every time we get together, and today was no exception! Even though the boys are completely different in so many ways, they get along really well (thank goodness because their parents sure do!) The four of us relaxed in the back yard & chatted about our upcoming "adults only" trip to Boston/NYC in August while watching the boys play in the baby pool! I thought I'd document how much the boys have changed in the past year by comparing pictures from today to last summer!

First off, these two pictures show the difference in their personalities! Reid is very outgoing & adventurous, while Austin is a bit more reserved.

Yes, Reid is face first in the water & Austin is standing on the sidelines cheering him on!

Austin loved the dolphin that sprayed water & spent most of the time playing with that!)

After swimming, Jared grilled hot dog & we enjoyed a yummy lunch outside together! What a blessing to have a family that we have so much in common with & that we enjoy spending time with on a regular basis!
