...is flying by! Madi is here until Saturday, when we leave for Michigan. When she got here, we made our own version of a slip and slide, and Odin had a lot of fun with that. We have been swimming a lot this summer as well, except Odin is afraid. My sweet, good-natured boy is not quite a daredevil. While his male cousins will jump into the pool and turn into fish, he clings, like some sort of water monkey, to whatever adult is handy (usually me). It is nice that he is cautious around water, but how will I ever teach this kid to swim? We can't afford real lessons, so we are going to have to do it ourselves. Today Madi ignoring his crying and held him away from her body so that he could at least try kicking and getting used to not glomming onto one of us. He did okay, and I definitely think it was better for someone else to hold him. We also had Allison in the pool, and she seemed to enjoy it.
Saturday we went down the Salt River, sans kids. Madi...well...she had a few near-death experiences, but we won' t talk about those here :) We also got pelted by soggy marshmallows. Then we went to dinner and Jesterz, which was hilarious. (Jesterz is a comedy improv show here in Phoenix). Well, only a few more days until vacation!!

Wow, Allison is getting so big! And is that a pool?? That is so funny that she likes the pool but poor Odin doesn't. Maybe next year... does the condo have a smaller one that he can wade in? Maybe fill the bathtub water up a lil higher and let him get used to that first??
