That sounds like so much fun, Donna. I had a good 4th, too. We went to a party and BBQ at a friend's house and he had a gorgeous, big in-ground pool. We brought Quinn's little bikini bathing suit (OMG SO FREEKING CUTE) and I took my baby swimming for the first time. It was so much fun, and we were both enjoying it so much, that I kept swimming with Quinn while everyone ate. I spent about an hour in the pool with Quinn and she enjoyed every second of it. She paddled her little legs, it was the cutest thing EVER. She did both the breast stroke and she did the back stroke. I simply held her head above water (I was too nervous to see her swim under water) and she was so buoyant that she swam in big circles and I just needed to support her head. She had the best time and her little heart was beating a million little beats in her chest from the little baby workout

I have a water child for sure! It may not sound fun to some folks, but that was the most amazing experience I've ever had and I will cherish it always.

I then had myself a nice BBQ dinner and we popped fireworks for another hour before we went home. It was so much fun.
