Swimming in Vegas!!!!

Swimming is a big thing for us in Vegas...it is a great way to spend the day or part of the day!! I hate taking tons of swimming pictures, because they all look the same. So I vowed this year not to do that... Yeah right as I was downloading them...I kept thinking so much for not taking a ton. How can you say no to those little grand kids that say...take my picture doing this grandma???
Just so you know how hot it was...the bee's were even coming to the pool to cool off and then lay in the sun ;o)
TJ giving Ethan a ride on his back and The Third swimming along with them.
John waiting for the football...Tatem climbing out to jump in again...Terriebeth waiting for her.
TJ, Ethan and The Third again
John throwing the football back to The Third...TJ, Terriebeth and Tatem just hanging out.
TJ, John and Terriebeth all trying to catch the football the Third threw...notice no one is even close.
The Third getting ready to throw another sneaky football throw...who will catch it this time? Ethan is there giving his encouragement.
Bring it on The Third!!!!
TJ and Hollie just chilling ;o)
Terriebeth got away from everyone to enjoy a little alone time...I wonder how long that will be for ;o)
Caleb wanted his picture taken but didn't want to get in the pool so Auntie Terriebeth...(what where did that Auntie thing come from....those Massachusetts people must be wearing off on me), any way Auntie Terriebeth took the camera in the pool and took a couple of him! What a nice person ;o)
Nice Auntie Terriebeth snuck in this one also...I thought I would go ahead and put it in because Caleb is so cute!!! He looks like he is ready to fall in!!! Ha,ha,ha!
Ok here come the take a picture of me every second from the other three. They wanted me to snap a picture every time they jumped in...but they would have to stand right next to me...so some are pretty close up!!! And yes I thought about pretending to take one...but that is not me I couldn't do it! So you have a ton of pictures to look at!! ha,ha,ha! Here goes Tatem!!! And of course I tried to get the action shot ...but well enough said...you all know me ;o)
Caleb on the side again...
This is The Third swimming...he jumped in then swam to the shallow end!!! Wow what a great swimmer!!!
Caleb again...
Ethan jumping in!!!
And here goes Tatem again....
Ethan getting ready to jump in...are you ready Grandma??
Tatem...she would be happy if all she had to do all day long is jump in the pool!! She is in Heaven....no wonder she wanted to sleep in ;o)
Ethan again....
The Third...that was almost a great action shot ;o)
You guessed it!!! Miss Tatem Rae.. You ready grandma??
Ok this would have been a great action shot ....if I would have got his head and the water!!!!
It is Ethan just in case you are wondering ;o)
Tatem...just a second to late...but I got the water splashing!

Hollie finding a minute to herself ;o)
John with a minute to himself...
TJ, Caleb and Terriebeth....Caleb wanted Terriebeth to use his floatie!!! What a nice kid ;o)
Grandpa, Caleb and Tatem...Caleb really did get in the water, not just sit on the edge!! I promise...you will see soon.
Another one of The Thirds and Tatem things to do is be thrown in the water...Here is The Third getting thrown by mom!!! Ethan and Tatem watching...well not Tatem.
Ethan do you want a turn??? Ummmmmmmm No!!!
The race....Tatem is winning...Terriebeth is second and Hollie in Third...Not sure where the boys are.
Oh there they are...looks like they are out in front...go boys!!!
On your mark, get set....GO!!!!
Come on guys lets race!!! Whose in??
TJ finds a minute to himself...Time to let the water out of the goggles....funny I don't remember him wearing goggles??
Just chilling having fun!
Still chilling or waiting for another race ....I'm not sure which.
Chicken fight...sorry these are in backwards order...TJ and Hollie lost...but this was the closest I got to the end of the fight!
The middle of the fight...both teams looking good!!!
Come on Terriebeth and John...bring it on!!!!
The Third and Ethan diving for rings!!! The rest who knows.
Ok ask me if this is crazy!!! It is like 95 degrees outside and these two get in the hot tub!!! What is up with that??? ( a little secret...the rest of us all got in it too, at one time or another.)
Grandma....here I come take my picture??
Look at that Caleb is finally in the pool with Terriebeth...
Ok that is crazy...I know I have more pictures of Cabeb in the pool where are they???
Oh well here is our week of swimming....but this is only a couple days worth of pictures...I didn't take them all 9 day...ok 8 days...last day there we didn't swim.
Don't forget to check older post for other fun stuff from vacation!!!

Fun fun! The kids always slept really well at night the days we spent time at the pool! Grandpa Tim should seriously consider putting in a pool, I'll have to get the grandkids to start bugging him about it!

Tim and Terrie (tnt) said...

Oh yeah I like that idea!!!

Looks like tons of fun!!

I think the chicken fight was a little sided. We will have to have a rematch. Next time we go to Vegas we need to go to the pool every day.

How was it sided? By the fact that John and I are just more awesome!?
