Louisiana Swimming fun!

Visiting Louisana is always a treat for everyone in our family!  We really enjoy spending time with Nate's parents Steve and Diana and the boys are in heaven with being spoiled by grandparents, hours of swimming fun, creating new lego structures, and playing card games with Grandma.  I always know my kids are in good hands with Steve and Diana!

 Clayton has mastered his diving!  Head down and tucked in, feet sometimes together, and jump straight into the blue aqua below.  He has always loved diving for gold coins (dollar coins) in Grandpa and Grandma Cottrell's pool.  This time he seemed to be super fast so Grandpa threw ten or more coins in a time and everyone would see how fast he could find them all on his own and he often came up with two or three at a time!!  He loves this so much that we have to tell him to take a break just to catch his breath!

 Hayden is a water bug!!  He loves diving just as much as Clay, but he would stand ontop of the hot tub and find his coin at the bottom of the pool and then jump off to dive for it!

Justin was just pure crazy when it came to swimming!!  He would do so many crazy jumps yelling "Superman" as he went.  He wore floaties that held his little body above water great.  Justin is fully aware that he is funny.  He gets humor and wants to make everyone laugh.  When he figures out he was the one everyone is laughing at he often will repeat and repeat his funny thing he did.  We all get a kick out of it that he KNOWS he is funny and uses it!!

I loved hearing all what the boys did while we were gone for our anniversary.  Steve said they had a morning routine of swimsuits on, breakfast, working out, maybe a bit of yard work and finish off with a dive in the pool for hours of pool time.!!  I thought is was so funny Clay and Hayden were trying to get more muscles to wrestle Nate when we got back, love it!  Again, it always is a huge treat to go to Louisiana and see Steve/Diana and it is hard to leave but we are so thankful to be a part of the family and spend time together.
