We had to put away our huge swimming pool that we had up for two years due to Mamma’s blood pressure. I just couldn’t take it anymore with all the little ones around. But God provided an alternate, safe source of water fun! A kind berry farmer next door granted us permission to swim in his irrigation pond which it ginormous. 12-15ft deep and very wide and long.
Every hot Sunday summer afternoon, which this year has amounted to oh…3 days, Paul packs up the older children and away they go. This last Sunday I saw the above heading out the driveway to the pond.

They hauled that silly trampoline aaaaaall the way down, a good half mile, at a snails pace, to the pond. That is determination.
I hear it was quite the fun.
Flip Jump
Here is Emma and her pet decoy “Ducky”
Jessie took pictures of Daddy striking different poses and the kids would name them.
Side Flop(a variation of the belly flop)
The Airplane
Cannonball
The Ducky Dive
The Racecar
Back Flop
The Running Man
And my personal favorite…the Ballerina. Yes, I have considered using this as blackmail.

Wow, Daddy looks like the biggest kid of them all! FUN!!!
It looks like so much fun! Our family hasn't gone swimming yet this year, but we hope to go cliff jumping in Almira with our cousins (normally we wouldn't go cliff jumping around here because of all the people, but it's nice and secluded down there :)!
