One man's house is another man' s VACATION!!!!!

Wow! Where have the last 8 months gone? Clearly I caught the Facebook bug because I have not posted on here in so long!! Well....I'm back!
This week the Kimes family is vacationing in Murietta, CA thanks to our generous friends who are allowing us to house sit for them while they vacation in Mexico. One mans house is another man's vacation!! They have the most beautiful pool here and lots of space inside for our kids to run arround. Good thing too because it is way to hot to play outside this summer unless you are swimming.

Although Kenley hasn't had a swim lesson since I was pregnant with Reece, she is proving to be quite the little swimmer this week. She liked cruising around in her floaty but we worried she would fall through so we bought her a life vest and that has been her ticket to freedom and independence!! She just swims around the whole pool and loves it! Reece also loves swimming but hates being in the "baby" floaties. He just wants Jason or I to hold him the whole time :-)

This week has helped my swimming ability/confidence as well. After having many near-drownings as a kid I sometimes get very tense and anxious in the water. Something I would not want for our kids at all. After the second day I felt so much more relaxed and yesterday I was cannon-balling in the deep end and going face-first down the water slide! It is freeing not to be so stressed in a pool.

We are swimming twice a day and eating like we are vacation! What could be better?! Jason and I are enjoying all this time alone with our kids (even when they act up) and are not looking forward to heading back to the grind :-) Well, I don't know if it's a grind per se, bet there is no pool back home and there is no better treat than swimming on a hot day.

We are just beginning day 5 and we have 3 more days here. Best get to making breakfast for my peeps! Pictures to come!
