A Day of Swimming

Saturday was a busy day! First we had a birthday party for Rafe's cousin, Charlie. It was so much fun. The children rode horses, played on the swing set, busted a pinata and jumped on a BIG inflatable slide. After lunch it started getting hot so they turned the water on the slide and it became a HUGE "flip and flide!" Rafe has never had so much fun.

Happy Birthday, Charlie!

After the birthday party we headed to Lake Lure for a family reunion. Rafe swam in the lake and the pool and helped bust his second pinata full of candy for the day. We all had a great time with family and enjoyed being outside. We were thankful for a few good hours outside. The rain set in later on in the afternoon and there were 10 WILD children running around the house. Needless to say no one argued when it was time for bed that night!

It is NEVER too cold to swim!

I moved out of the way and gave Cory the camera for an

action shot. Notice there isn't one. Luckily I don't hand over the

camera too often!
