On Saturday, May 31, Corey had the day off from work (a rarity--a Saturday off!), so we had our friends, the Bowens, over to swim and barbecue. Lindsey was a roommate of mine at BYU, and they live in Mesa. Their boys, Jeremy and Tyler are very close in age to Westley and Caleb (they even take swimming lessons together). They have a daughter Megan who is only a couple months younger than Travis. Anyway, we had them over in the afternoon. After swimming and practicing their skills, we had the barbecue. Westley has started going off the diving board with only the pool noodle and Tyler went off the board also. I can't remember if Jeremy went off the board at all, but Caleb wouldn't attempt it. Westley was sure getting brave, and he gets even braver every time we go out there. Actually, it's a bit unnerving because he's really not skilled enough to swim without an adult right there with him, but he thinks he is. So it's kind of a dangerous time for him, and I have to watch him really close. But he's doing better and better all the time! After swimming, while Corey was cooking up at the grill, the kids ran around the patio, playing, riding bikes, and climbing on the "tower". Corey cooked up some delicious hamburgers for the adults and hot dogs for the kids. Barbecue always tastes so good after swimming! It was a relaxing, fun time. We even had popsicles for dessert, but I only managed to get a good picture of Travis for that. Eliza slept in her swing most of the time that we were swimming. She woke up for the barbecue, but was content to sit in her Bumbo for most of it. It was a great day. Hopefully we can do it again later this summer when they come back from visiting family.
