Heat Wave

This is my first summer in North Carolina. And of course, we are having record temperatures. Nothing that this MN girl can't handle, though:) I do love the heat and the air conditioning, equally. We are talking temps of 103-107*. So, we joined the Elks Club. They have a pool right down the street from us, takes about 2 minutes to drive there. Also walking distance from our future property. Naydine was calling it the Alex Pool. I guess that's what my accent sounds like when I say Elks. Interesting....

Naydine is doing awesome at swimming. She loves to wear the goggles and go underwater for a long time. It's crazy!! We are going to have her do the swim lessons and I seriously think that she's going to be swimming by herself soon. She goes under water in the kiddie pool and swims around. However, I think she's kind of laying on the bottom and pushing herself around from the floor of the pool But, it looks like she's really swimming underwater! And she'll dive in and glide along the bottom too. Eli and I are just laughing the whole time!

Dane, he's not a big fan. I think tonight, finally, he got in by himself and grabbed a toy from the pool quick and got out. He tries to steal other kids snacks, talk to the teenage girls in bikinis, and crap his swim diaper. Oh, and Naydine has to poop every time we are there too. And why can't kids be discreet about this? She has to yell, "Mom, I have to poop!!", while grabbing her butt! LOL.... right when you think that maybe everybody didn't understand her 2 year-old-language, she has to confirm this statement by grabbing her butt.... aaahhhh....

One other crazy thing here is that our hose water never gets cold. Well, neither does our tap water. But, it's kind of cool that the house never gets ice cold because then I get to take all these fun pictures!

Dane is ticked at Naydine for taking the hose!! He's getting a temper on him! ha!
