Love for the Pool

We love the pool!! It has been the best July that I can remember and we have taken full advantage of it. Went to the pool 3 times this week. Zach has mastered the kids slides and has moved on the the big kid slides (with a parent). He loves it and literally would go all day if we would allow...after 5 times have to give it a rest. When not on the slides, Zach is so happy playing in the water. He has never been great at independent play...but in the pool he can be happy playing forever. At school, they play in the kiddie pool a lot and Shelly always says he is part fish. I used to tell my parents I needed to go to the pool because my gills were dry...maybe love for the pool and summer time is genetic:) **should add in a story that happened on the way to the pool. We are sitting at a stop light on the way to the pool.
Zach: Mommy, why are you stopping.
Koren: the light is red so we are waiting
Zach (after looking around): don't worry Mom, I don't see a police man, you can just go
REALLY! Who is teaching him this...I laughed and said we have to follow the rules even if no one is watching. But man, that was funny to me.

Sorry for so few pictures...2 of the 3 pool outings I was by myself with the kids...so not much time with the camera in hand.

Zach's first tee ball practice/game

He is on a team with Hailey, Charlie & Hannah...this time with a coach who means business (intense!).
Mommy can relate! So Zach's mom is not laid back...there are worse things:) They practices for the first half and each team bats the full team. They were great! All made a hit and ran the bases! Zach was so excited about tee ball that he woke asking about it. Then on the way, he said "Mommy, Mommy, I have to tell you something...Baseball is tee ball!" I love this kid!!

2 more FIRSTs...First Movie & First Baseball Game

For Father's Day, we got Andy tickets to the Saints Game. It was a good Father & Son day! Zach loved baseball! He didn't want anyone to talk, he was busy watching. But did allow time for a chocolate malt cup!!
Friday, Zach & Isabella went on a date with their Dads to see TOY STORY 3! Toy Story is one of the few movies Zach will sit through so this was perfect. He loved it! Now, maybe he can take Mommy!
Is that popcorn big enough:)
Daddy is too cool for the camera so sorry the pictures are only as good as a cell phone camera can be:)
