A Saturday Swim!!!!

Saturday night we got to play with the Ballard boys at our house, we had a lot of fun!!

The boys came over, they played in the back yard on the swing set for about 1/2 hour then decided that they wanted to go swimming in Mara's Princess Pool-- okay they weren't to thrilled that it was a girls pool but they had fun anyway.

After "swimming" they came inside put their Jammie's on, watched Ewok Adventures, and ate some dinner. I thought we had a great time!!!

Shanny and Jeff were able to go on a date, they watched Mara and Jackson on Thursday night when Jonah and I went on a date, we hit golf balls, very romantic :0).

Here are some pictures of swimming...
