Swimming

We did a lot of swimming on our trip this summer. It was very hot and the Salmon River is only 6 miles away, so a few afternoons when Grant was taking his nap, my mom would watch Ava and Grant and we would take Claire and Owen to the river. It was soooooo COLD!! Seriously COLD! I couldn't get in, and Chad braved it but it took his breath away. Somehow Claire and Owen quite enjoyed it. We also had the chance for their stake 24th of July celebration to go to a fun swimming complex in Clarkston, WA. Claire actually went down her first water slide all by herself. I didn't even know she was going until she came out. She loved it!! Owen loved the little wave pool they had, and Grant really didn't care for anything. Grandpa was very persistent, so he eventually had to enjoy himself. My parents also took us to Zim's Hot Springs one day, where we had so much fun. The water was so nice and warm, but not to hot, and the kids swam and swam. We even put Ava in the water and she loved it. Grant enjoyed himself as long as he was with me or Chad. Unfortunately I forgot my camera every place but one day at the beach.
