Just a few cute videos. Alec made amazing progress swimming this summer, and since Sunday was the last day that the pool by our house was open, we decided to let him try the diving board, which he has had his eye on all summer. We weren't allowed to be in the water, or to help catch him at all, so he had to be able to swim to the side from the deep end all on his own. Matt was a little hesitant, but after seeing Alec in the water all summer long, I knew he could do it. We let him try, and he did AWESOME! He swam better than he ever has and he had no fear on the diving board what so ever. He was running off, doing cannon balls - it was hilarious, and by the end he had an audience b/c everyone around us was so impressed with how small he was. Only bad thing about it was that I didn't have my camera or video camera with me. The big pool that's a few miles away was open yesterday and is open for the next 2 weekends, so we are determined to get some video before pool season is officially over. Of course, the diving board was closed yesterday, so I didn't get any video then, but I did manage to get a video of Alec practicing his diving board jumps off the side of the pool. You can see what a great little swimmer he's become. We're both so proud of how determined and athletic he is.

Just a funny video I found when uploading . Love the little voice, and Retta, the fake laugh at the end is just for you:)


Not to be forgotten, here is little Charlie following in his big brother's footsteps. This was at the good old Meadowglen pool while we were back in CO.
