Just Playin'

On Pioneer Day we swam at my parent's neighborhood pool. Kim got these shots of Rebecca jumping, jumping, jumping off the diving board! And here is her blog post with a movie clip. It all started when we were swimming a few weeks ago and she watched some teenagers doing tricks off the diving board. We were trying to leave and it was hard to peel her away, since here eyes were glued to the kids jumping off the board. She even watched them through the chain link fence as we walked away. She had it in her head that she wanted to jump off that board! I told her she first needed to learn to jump off the side of the pool without holding my hands, which she had never done before.
So on this day, she got brave (probably since Jorg was there) and just went for it! She not only jumped off the side of the pool, but she spent a good half hour jumping off the diving board. She would not stop for any breaks, and would not accept help from anyone while she climbed out of the pool each time. Pretty brave, I say!

Also, here is a picture of her playing with the toys she picked out at the neighbors yard sale. Care Bears! I would've picked them too! She was so excited...
Oh, to be a kid again...We Like It!
