Summer is coming.....

Summer is coming to Arizona. It's not too bad yet, but yesterday it was hot enough that we all went swimming and enjoyed our beautiful new pool. Rand has braved it before, but yesterday Ella and I joined him. Rand has remembered how to swim (well, dog paddle) and I need to go and get Ella a little life jacket this week so she can do more than sit in my arms.

There's also the "have-a-bucket-of-water-and-a-popsicle" for the less classy among us.

And as long as they're outside in their bathing suits, why not finger paint?
