Puddleducks & Boom Boom Lights

Here are a few more pictures from this past weekend with Hudson and Melissa's family. I took these on Sat evening. The kids LOVED the time they got to spend in the pool. AK is taking swimming lessons this year and has been making progress, but Maxwell may have helped her even more than her instructor! He convinced her (w/ the help of Melissa) to go completely underwater so that she could wave to him. Ever since then, I'm thrilled to report that she's gone underwater on a daily basis!

The remaining pics are of the kiddos playing with sparklers. Anna Kate has always called fireworks, "boom boom lights". That has stuck and I anticipate that being what Grace calls them as well. :)

Grace was happier to be on the side "observing"

Nana also gave AK lots of encouragement!
She was the only one that AK would jump to!

This is the first year she wasn't too scared to hold one!
