Water Day. Literally.

Summertime, for the Wild Webbs anyway, has always been filled with water days. We have Water Day at school, play in the baby pool in our driveway (Redneck Riviera style), swim and skip rocks in the river in the mountains, have water-themed playdays, water fun fights in the yard and the list goes on. Never have we had a summer such as this, though. For the first time ever, both our kids can swim and love the water. We have to beg them to get out. They will always, always choose "no stories at bedtime" if it means we can swim for "just a few more minutes". I'm pretty sure they'd skip a visit to the World of Cupcakes or America's Largest Ice Cream Factory if it meant they could have 5 more minutes in the pool. I now understand all these parents that I've always judged in the past...you know, you folks that let your 4 and 5 year olds stay up until 10PM? Well, I admit...I have always judged you. Until now. And rest assured, if I see you in Walmart at 11PM with your 1 year old, I'm still judging you. But if you have your preschooler in the pool at 9PM, I'll more than likely be jealous.

Sam isn't quite sure he's comfortable with his Mommy throwing him like a limp piece of seaweed. Luckily, his Daddy is there to catch him before he goes under. Never fear, I'm sure he'll be right there with the rest of the Webb kids in no time.
Daddy and Cooper...one of the few times Cooper wasn't swimming entirely by himself. And those goggles? They come on before the sunscreen and get taken off just before the bath. No exceptions.

Cooper's newest favorite activity? Why, it's flying through the air, with the greatest of ease (and, naturally, posing for the camera while doing so)!

Kendall isn't quite as confident as Big Brother, but she sure loves to swim around on her noodle or kickboard. Her newfound love for jumping off the diving board has baffled us beyond belief, but we love it.

This is what Cooper looks like everytime he goes under. It doesn't matter if he was thrown in, did a painful bellyflop, or is struggling to get to the side of the pool...he comes up ALL smiles.

Pray for us this week...we're attempting Year 4 to Destin with a sidetrip to Daphne first. We have been on the "countdown to see Kori and Kali" for what seems like forever now. We would especially appreciate your prayers on the homeward bound leg of the trip where we will attempt to end our 3-Year Someone is Throwing Up In The Car On The Way Home streak.
