Swimming and Golf

Sunday evening sliding!  Lincoln and Riley had the best time on the slide on Sunday.  They went down individually (but always one after the other) many times.  When they saw that some of the bigger kids were going down the slide together, they decided to try that out!  They devised several plans, took turns being in front and in back, sometimes held on to each other, sometimes didn't hold on to each other, discussed how to go down the slide faster, and really just had fun! 
After dinner in the cabana, we all got back in the pool to play.  Mr. Josh brought one of the basketball goals over to the shallow end for the kids to play.  We were missing the start of the Finals game between CLE and Golden State, but Lincoln and Beau were busy having their own version of The Finals in the pool!!  #Lincolnscored 
Beau had watched Lincoln go down the slide a million times, but he wasn't ready all evening.  He got a few suggestions to ask Mommy to go down the slide with him, but he still wasn't interested.  Just before it was time to go home, Mommy told Beau it was time.  Let's do the slide!!!  We eagerly (nervously) climbed up the ladder, and Lincoln was so proud of us.  We confidently (uncoordinatedly) sat down at the top of the slide with Beau between Mommy's legs.  Mommy might have had a secret panic attack about landing in the water with a not-awesome swimmer who she is in charge of to not drown him/her.  Luckily, it went great!!!!  He loved it!  We took a picture and went down the slide again with Lincoln cheering us on and a lot of real eagerness and confidence.  Mom of the Year for going down the slide twice!  (Can I crown myself Mom of the Year???  I just did!  Someone bring me flowers!  Secretly, it was kind of fun!) 
Monday brought another week of summer school:  Beau back to Pre-K, and Lincoln to Vacation Bible School at our church.  Linc's only lasted from 9-12, but they had a fun Sports Camp from 12-4 that he could stay for.  It was great.  I think there is a good picture coming soon.  We went to dinner with Nana and Pops early on Monday night, then Daddy and Lincoln went to play 18 holes at dusk.  Beau and Mommy went home to make sugar cookies with blue icing and rainbow sprinkles.  Beau was happy! 
Daddy and Lincoln were having FUN!  Love these two!  Lincoln's snaggle-tooth instantly makes any picture better! 
Somewhere on the back 9, Lincoln asked to take a rest for a minute.  Daddy took this sweet picture while driving to the next hole.  
Big boy rallied and finished 18 before the sun set.  It was kind of a late bath at 9:30 when they got home, but it's great that they had such a fun time! 
We have a full week going on.  Lincoln at Bible School/Sports Camp, Beau at Pre-K, Mommy working, and Daddy going to Belgium!!!!
