Swimming

So,

Before I left for work again we took Hunter to play at the pool with his good buddy Jack Root. It was Hunter's first time swimming, but Jack is an old pro. Me, Bethany, Josh and Stacey and the boys met up in Bellingham and had a nice time at the Root's house before getting in our suits and swim diapers and going to the pool.

The pool was amazing for kids. A 30 meter section that went from zero depth to about 3 feet in a nice gradual slope. The water is super warm and the air in the pool is kept nice and toasty too so the kids don't get upset when they get out. They had about a million toys for the kids to play with like duckies and floats and things...

We played there for about an hour with the boys. Had them flying through the air and dunking under water...swimming laps and playing around...It was a great time!!

Can't wait for Bethany and Hunter to get here cos we have a pool downstairs that he can play in all day long!!

Mama and the bug...

All of us at the beach on Orcas...Hunter's first beach by the way...






















Mama is great!! She made a batch of fresh organic yams for the bug to munch on...mixed 'em up with some formula and rice cereal and Hunter thinks it's the best thing since before sliced bread.






















And Hunter loves posing. This is his first big boy bath. He's been bathing in the shower lately since he's outgrown the sink. But this is his first in mildly deep water and also his first with his Mama...He loves it and really loves showing off his svelt bod.

So, it's been awhile...

So, Hunter had his first 'camping' trip when I got back from Israel. We were roughing it NW style in a nice wooden cabin on the coast of Orcas Island. We went out with our friends the Yoder's and their little guy Samuel.





















It was a great little trip and Hunter got to experience all of the good things about camping. A bonfire, smores and some freshly grilled steak...well, not really the smores or steak but he had fun anyway.

Various Hunter Shots.

Hunter is a big flying boy!!



















And also a big grouch...


























And also as cute as a bug in a rug!

Hill Dog meets Hunter.

Ahhh... The little guy meeting his first bigwig.
Hillary was in town and was nice enough to give us a little speech and meet and greet.

Hunter decided to allow her to have an audience with him, but then promptly fell asleep.

We had a good day and have been having a great week now that all the hullabaloo is out of the way.

More to come...
