Here Fishy, Fishy, Fishy!!!!

After fighting the life jacket, Titus eventually fell asleep in Daddy's arms in it!
Here Fishy, Fishy, Fishy!  Yep, that's three fish because over the 4th of July, we had a blast watching three little fishes!  The first one was Evie Cate who we couldn't keep out of the water if we tried!  She loved to go down the slide into the water, then keep her head under and swim about 5 feet to Grandpa.  If she wasn't using the slide, then she would dive down to the bottom of the lake to grab a golf ball, or have Grandpa count while she kept her head under water (8 seconds was her longest time)!  She loved every minute of the water!  Our other cute fishy was Titus.  Although not quite as capable as Evie in the water, he loved going down the slide and also had no problem putting his face under to get a ball.  He is also a natural and can kick as well in the water as Evie (although can't quite move the way she can).  Titus loved spending time as well on anything that moved, especially Bumpa and Grandpa's boats.  He also loved Auntie Enie's kayak and Grandpa's 4-wheeler!  The third fishy was the Northern Chad caught while fishing with Grandpa Dave.  Although he was pretty ugly, the kiddos enjoyed seeing how big he was and especially liked setting him free again into the lake!   Quite a whirlwind week from Alex to Chaska to Merifield!  We loved every second of it and were thankful for great weather and family to celebrate with!  Evie is already looking forward to starting swimming lessons back up again in the fall!
