Fun with Mark and Jill...

My girls were lucky enough to spend time at their Aunt Jill's mom and dad's house this weekend. We don't get to see Uncle Mark and Aunt Jill often, but when we do the girls are always excited. They are great with the kids and we LOVE having the chance to catch up with them.

Both Mark and Jill recently had vision correction surgery and technically weren't even supposed to be in the pool. They were extra careful, but still broke the rules a tiny bit to spend time swimming with the girls. So sweet.

Amazingly enough, with coaxing from me, Dennis, Mark, Jill, and Jill's parents and brothers - each girl finally took a turn jumping off the diving board. I was so proud!

Thanks so much to the DeYoung family for inviting us to your home. We had so much fun!

Emmie is my most nervous kid in the water, but Aunt Jill finally got her to jump off the side instead of the diving board...





Aunt Jill walked her up and Daddy gently pulled her down. Finally a successful "jump" off the diving board! Yay, Emmie!...

Love this look of joy on Hayden's face every time she jumps...





Hayden loved riding on these things...

Aunt Jill knew just what Hayden needed...
