Summertime is meant for playing in the water, even babies know this. It is something that is genetically encoded in all of us at birth. People gravitate to water like moths to a flame. Why do you think beaches are so popular, other than just being beautiful? People love water and my kids are no different. Hell if I didn't have to man the camera....I probably would have joined them.
I just don't think the inflatable slide would've held my big butt. Courtney was terrified of the slide at first. She kept her feet on the grass but her hands were constantly in the water. I finally had
Keelie climb to the top and Courtney was handed to her. Then under protest from Courtney, they went down, down, down- right into a pool of water at the bottom. And Courtney LOVED it!
Keelie would switch off with my
niece Jenica on taking Court down the slide. After awhile, Court just stayed at the bottom and played with my nephew, Devin. Devin wasn't in his swim trunks but he told his momma that he was getting in anyways. He had just been splashing his hands in the water but pretty soon he had his head in it too.
Every time his momma took him away from the water, he screamed. Finally he got his way and was sat in the water. He and Court splashed around while their sisters tried not to drown them each time they came down the slide.
I love these pictures. I took them on our recent trip to Big Trees. Even with gas prices being what they are, we still like to take small road trips. We went up to Big Trees because it's not very far away, we love the mountains, and we wanted to see how the new car would drive up the inclines. Like a glove!
Heehee. I did realize something while at Big Trees....I need a wide angle lens! I tried to snap a picture of Paul and Courtney standing in front of a tree and I wanted the entire base of the tree in it too. Well in order to achieve the photo, I had to stand so far back that you could not detect their faces even when I zoomed in. So I will eventually save up enough to buy one but for now I will just have to deal. Back to the pictures...I love these two pictures the best out of all the ones I took. Everything Daddy did, Courtney had to do too. Daddy walked down a trail, Courtney followed. Daddy sat to look up at a tree, Courtney had to do the same. I swear they were both cut from the same mold. Courtney is Daddy's Little Girl. She doesn't have to work very hard at it...He's already wrapped around her little finger.
