This has been the best summer so far for the Eckler boys! See in the past years, I was running the daycare, not being able to take time off to take the boys swimming since we were tied down there till it closed. This summer as Miley Cyrus says, I have the "Best of Both Worlds"! I am able to watch my 3 little part-time kids in the morning, get my housework completed, and then off to swim, run errands, or whatever we feel the need to do, and then just a couple of nights a week off to work! The boys are absolutely loving sleeping till whenever and just being "kids" in the summer! They are not being told to be quiet during "nap time", bored playing with 2 year olds all day", or not being able to go swimming as much as they want! I have made sure that we have got ample amount of pool time in, now that the weather has finally cooperated! For the second straight year in a row, we have bought season passes to our local water park. Yesterday, I changed it up a little and took them to Hannibal to the aquatic center. This week we have had the perfect pool weather with high in the 90's!!!
Corby trying to go across the moving monkey bars in the water....easier said then done!
I look at these pictures in amazement and can't believe how grown up he is looking lately! Also I swear next year he is going to be taller than me, oh and did I mention that he is wearing a 5 1/2 shoe size!!! Pretty soon he will pass me up in that also!
Just about ready to lose it, but he made it all the way to the end!
Preston's determination was not going to let him fall no matter what!
Here is one of Preston's many looks of determination!
They have several sprayers to cool off! Conner had fun throwing his goggles through and then running through the water! Pretty impressive when I was editing this picture that I actually caught the goggles mid-air!
Gotta cool off the backside as well!
Quin would giggle very loud when Corby would run through the sprayers with him!
Ahhhh we love summer!

just wait until they are only 14 and their shoe size is a 12
That water looks so refreshing! And I agree, Corby has really grown up this past year. Have a great vacation next week. --Dawn
