Wednesday Sept. 29 A day at the pool!

Grandma Debbie bought Tate and Taylee a sandcastle kit and Tate was all over that. He kept asking and asking to build a sandcastle. Look at his crew! How much luckier could a little builder get. It was an awesome sand castle.

What beautiful sand!
Mike figured out the trick to get Tate to swim across the entire length of the pool and then later swim in the ocean without any floatation devise. Tate just needed flippers, goggles, and a snorkel. He is an amazing swimmer and dad is an amazing teacher. I kept begging Mike to get him a jacket because I thought he'd have a lot more fun. He assured me Tate didn't need it. And he was RIGHT!
Our other dare devil. Tate and especially Taylee became celebrities at the motel for their water stunts. Taylee found that she loved jumping off of a 5 foot wall into the water. She'd hit the water and say, "Again! Again! After 15 jumps she'd wear Mike and I right out so we would quit long before she was ever ready.
Soon she found that people were paying attention to her, so she'd get up on the wall and wave to everyone before she'd jump. People on the other side of the pool couldn't see that anyone was catching her and she scared them to death as she'd wave and jump.
Everyone at the pool noticed our children. One mother and her son told us we better put her on U tube. One man said we need to get her a superman cape. Another group of ladies said, "Oh, she's the bravest baby I've met. She's scaring me to death. God bless her."
A man approached us and told us she has no fear, is extremely independent, and she would keep us running for the next 18 years. When he'd see us around the motel and Taylee was up to something he kept simpling pointing and saying, "See!"
Worker at the motel came over and got her picture and just watched and watched and giggled and giggled. They said, "In all the time they've worked at the motel they've never seen anything like Taylee.

Again! Again!

Again! Again!

Again!

Again!
