Swimming and Water Fun

We had another busy week last week. Monday night was the end of season soccer party at a waterpark. Bryce had a lot of fun playing with some of his soccer friends in the pools. He still won't go on any of the slides, even in the kiddie area, since cutting his chin on a slide two summers ago. When he was 3 he had to go to the ER and was so terrified of stitches they glued it and the dr glued her hand to his face and it got stuck for about 5 minutes. He has been traumatized since and won't go on water slides at all. He still had a great time, though! Then we went to the spray park with our playgroup one day and Bryce loves it. Mia runs to the edge and laughs, but will not get wet :) After about 20 minutes she was done and kept saying she wanted to go to the car and leave!

We went swimming several times at my mom's house. Bryce is getting pretty good at swimming on his own. I think a few more times and he will have it down. Mia has gotten over her fear of the pool and just climbs right in whether there is a step or not. She has to wear floaties the whole time she is outside because she scares me and just tries to get in by herself.

We are thinking about buying a pop up camper so we can take the kids camping more. We really enjoy going, but it is just too hot to tent camp right now and not everywhere has shelters or cabins. If we had a camper we could go anytime and pretty much anywhere so that is our next big purchase :)
