POD: Walking to swimming

From Pictures of the Day 2012

Today the family headed down to our local outdoor pool for the kids swimming lessons. It was the first of two trips to the pool for our little family today. It’s great to be able to spend time doing things with the family, and over the next week I hope do a lot of it. The only problem is how will we have time to do everything we want to do.

POD: Running through the Heat

From Pictures of the Day 2012

Between the demands of work and hurting her foot, Melissa hasn’t been running as much as she would have like. So today she changed that. I’m not sure why she chose one of the hottest days of the years to do it, but out she went and ran her furthest distance yet. I’m looking forward to getting out there with her later in the week.

POD: Swimming and the Splash pad

From Pictures of the Day 2012

Today the kids had their first swimming lesson of the summer. Unlike during the rest of the year, during the summer there swimming class is every day for 2 weeks, so they’ll be spending a lot of time in the water of the next 9 days. Today Melissa was home and after the pool took them to the splash pad, where she captured today’s picture of the day. Every time we go to the splash pads the kids seem to be playing with plastic bottles, trying to catch the water from the splash pad’s fountains.  I’m looking forward being home next week so the family can walk down to the pool together.
