It was too perfect of a day today, so we went over to Cathie's parents to go swimming. Cathie's brother Ed and wife Stacy were in town and we had a ball playing around. Maddie and I worked on her doing back flips. She got up almost ten feet in the air and was able to do it perfectly, along with her front flip.
Ed and I worked up the liquid courage to try a front one and half flip. I was able to do the "one and a face", which involved me landing the entire force of my forward-rotating body on my right eye socket. It hurt. Badly.
Everyone was in the pool swimming. Emily got to the point where she's jumping off the diving board without any assistance and swimming across the length of the pool. She asked me how far it was, I told her a mile. By the end of the night she was running around telling everyone she'd swam five miles.
It couldn't have been a more perfect day. We were so proud of Cathie's Dad as he's getting to the point where he can swim without his floaties, but as you can see from the picture below, he wasn't quite comfortable swimming in the deep end without them.
You can see the rest of the pictures here.

Ouch, you were a mile from our house and you didn't say, "Hello."
That hurts, that hurts.
More importantly, you were that close (actually only about 1/3 of a mile away) and didn't invite us to swim??
