Taeden "swimming"

We had a moment of spontenaity last weekend when we were sitting on our couch Sunday afternoon. Our good friends Lacey and Anthon were in Palm Springs for the week and had invited us to join them a few weeks ago..however, we had kind of forgotten until Anthon texted Brandon on Sunday. Within minutes we had decided, shoot, lets just do it. Brandon had decided he would take Monday off and we piled into our car with our things in a laundry basket, yes, we packed in a laundry basket...a little ghetto, if I do say so myself, and we were on our way. We were suprised that it only took us two hours to get there and we were so happy with ourselves for being so spontaneous...with our two small children (this doesn't happen very often with me...being the planner type that I am). Anyways, it paid off...we had the best time with our friends! They had a beautiful house there with a pool and hot tub and we just enjoyed being with Lacey, Anthon and their daughter Hailey. The boys did great too. Taeden still thinks that he is the olympic swimmer that he thought he was last summer, taking no time at all to dive into the pool by himself (don't worry we were there to catch him!) He absolutely loved the water and spent most of his waking moments "swimming"...He has no fear of drowning apparently, which is scary and has me realizing I won't be taking him and Macalan swimming by myself (not enough hands) until he has some lessons. It is fun though, that he isn't scared to go under the water and should make for a fun summer in the water. We ended up staying until Tuesday and drove home in the afternoon. We were so happy we got to spend time with our friends and just wish they would move back already! :)
