Swimming with Friends

The kids and I went over to some friends' house this morning to play. They all enjoyed some time playing in the sandbox and then we headed for a swim. Ashton was jumping in like crazy without a care in the world. Maddie wasn't totally sure, but would jump in some. Berkley is one fearless little lady and Addison just kind of went with the flow. It was fun. It is amazing to me how different kids are even at the same age. Shanna and I had our hands full, but we enjoyed it. Of course, as usual, the kids didn't make it super long and it was back to their house.
The kids played outside riding on about every toy you can think of. It was a lot of fun. However, Ashton did almost give me a hard attack. He decided to take Addison's bike, which is a little big for him, and go down the hill in front of their house. He had no helmet on and barely made it in to the grass without flipping it end over end. He was rocking back and forth and the look on his face was pure terror. I ran for him as soon as I realized what he was doing and thankfully he didn't get hurt. He didn't get back on the bike either. WOW! My heart is pounding to just think about it again.
After some lunch, the kids played in the backyard on the swingset. Addison and Ashton climbed the ropes and the girls played on the swings. The kids all got on the big swing together and below you can see they were enjoying themselves. Now we're home getting some much needed rest after a lot of activity this morning!
