Ranch House

Becky and Todd rented a ranch house with a pool a couple weeks ago and invited us to come play for the day. It was refreshing - both the water and getting out of the house!

Miles hadn't been swimming all summer and we were excited to get him in the water! Both of us were curious to see how he'd do.

This kid. He may have been a little nervous at first, but it took him no time at all to figure everything out. He was in and out, jumping jumping jumping. It was so fun to see him actually making strides in the water and using his body to get him places! We did swimming lessons last year, but I wasn't sure if any of that stuck with him. Maybe it did? Or maybe he's just so gross motor motivated that he figured it out. Regardless, he was having a blast.

It didn't take long for that to be interrupted haha

Carson also enjoyed the water but wasn't as interested in staying in for long periods of time

After the pool, the kids came in to watch a show. Miles was going going going out there and we knew he was pooped.

It didn't take long for him to pass out....

We let Miles rest a little - with no accident I might add! - before we packed up and headed home. It was a super fun day and we heard nothing but "Mama! Nini, Halle, Yaya BIIIIIG POOOO!" for multiple days following that. Thanks for the Gates for having us!
