Swimming with friends

We had a momentous swimming occasion yesterday! Abby put on her floatie vest and floatie water wings, and realized that she could swim all by herself in the pool and kick to get anywhere she wanted in the pool, even the deep end! Needless to say, she was pooped after swimming so much and slept GREAT last night!! We had Mike's 2 good Navy friends over (Will/Tracey and Dan/Jessica) who he originally went through training with in Pensacola, and we swam all afternoon (literally!!). Abby swam a few hours, then played in the sand box for a while, then it was back in the pool 'til I pulled her out at 7pm for a bath and bedtime! Then the boys stayed in the pool til 9pm when I picked up some dinner.
About to jump in unassisted! Once she could do it on her own with confidence, she didn't even want us to hold her hand at all. And she's in!!!! She loved jumping in off the step, then turning around to swim/kick back to the step to do it over and over.
And back she goes!!
3 Men and a baby!!!! Abby loved being around the guys in the pool. She swam to and from each of them, and was not the least bit hesitant to let them help her!
I swear her tongue was out skimming the water the entire time! It helped her navigate!!!
Daddy kisses!!!!
Chillin' in the "bubble seat" as she calls them!
More daddy kisses....kisses must be better in the pool!
The end of the day.....Will & Mike!
I swear us girls were around too, but its hard to get 3 drunk guys motivated to get out of the pool and hold a camera.....safely!!! All in all it was a very fun day.
