More Summer Fun

The buddies have been very busy with their fun summer schedule. We finally had a full week without rain, so we hit the swimming pools 4 of the 5 days and all three have nice tans to show for it. Ace and Ben have both become very accustomed to the water and swim quite well (with water wings, of course!). Ben has mastered the doggie paddle and moves himself along pretty quickly. They love water slides and jumping off the side into the big pool and prefer to do both all by themselves.

Today, we met some twin friends at Zilker Park. The kids played hard on the play scape, rode the Zilker Zephyr past the newly re-named Lady Bird Lake, and ended the outing with a picnic lunch under the pavilion.

Both boys are learning new words every day and are stringing them together into 2 and 3 word sentences. They are really into things "crashing", whether it be a truck, a train, or themselves. If Ben falls down, he says, "I crash, Bem!" Cute, cute, cute!
