[click here to go to kelsey's post about it.] we've been to the been to the cabin. we've gotten sick. we've babysat the most amazing dogs [i wish i could steal their german shephard]. we've babysat 300 boys at a cubscout camp. we've taught those same 300 boys fun leather crafts. we've driven up and down mt. lemmon behind stupid slow drivers wa-hay too many times. we've been swimming. we've hand underwater handstand contests [kelsey won]. we've not yet cleaned and unpacked from all of our adventurs. sigh. and now we get to relax! haha...

here are some fun swimming pictures... because they're awesome. be checking adrian's blog for a cute video of hayley in the pool... it was the very first time she actually liked it. she does this really funny thing were she tries to catch the water. its goofy and it makes me laugh! and can i just say how much i love our pool? its pretty much the best thing ever.
