365 ~ 2014: Day 212

Deck Renovation Project Day 52, 53 & 54:  Lots of paint and yesterday's biggest development was coming home late from a day trip to Water Country and seeing the start of the screen installation!  Today it was more finishing work and hopefully the rest of the screens will be installed tomorrow!

365 ~ 2014: Day 211

Annual trip to Water Country today!  Wish it was warmer but still lots of fun!

Evan showing me his freckles...unfortunately they don't show as well in the picture.

365 ~ 2014: Day 209

The skies opened up today, it was like Noah's Arc style rain and so that prevented work on the deck.  Hopefully we dry out so they can pick up with the painting tomorrow.  I was reading upstairs when I realized how quiet it was in the house.  I came down to find the boys building a massive fort.  They asked me to take a picture of their hard work...how could I say NO to that!

365 ~ 2014: Day 208

On Friday David taught himself how to dive.  I tried to give him tips, but I was having a hard time showing him.  He watched another kid diving and tried to copy his moves and practiced over and over until he finally got it.  He still needs to work on his form (like keeping his head down and his feet together) but he was really proud of himself and so was I!

Evan gaining more confidence in the pool.  He swam the entire length without help.  I still wouldn't let him swim alone without a vest yet, but I think he is close!  We'll keep practicing....maybe before summer is over!

Deck Renovation Project Day 51: The rest of the beams are wrapped, another coat of red paint applied, lots of cream paint started, they prepped the ceiling for the screens and the railings are now 100% installed.  We also got our new patio furniture delivered and finished setting it all up tonight!
