First Swim!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is McKinley ready for his first official swim!

He loves his new shark and alligator floats! Thanks Maw-Maw & Paw-Paw and Uncle Brian for the cool new floats!

We are so excited that our pool is finally swim ready.....now all we have to do is finished the yard and fence!

We are almost finished!!!!

The Gore Backyard Oasis is entering its final phases. Putting in this pool has been a huge headache for us and we are very excited to almost be finished. Here are some pictures of the work being done over the past few days. The pool company should be finished at the house tomorrow. Hopefully the next pictures I post will be of us enjoying our new pool. Yesterday, they poured the concrete decking and put in the liner.
We started filling the pool up with water in the afternoon. By the late evening we had about 2 1/2 feet of water. McKinley was very anxious and could not stand it any longer, so we let him try out the pool. Him and his daddy had fun and made a water slide.

McKinley had such a good time, he told me we should leave the pool just like it was because it was just perfect for him.

Vacation Bible School Power Lab 2008

Here are some pictures of our Vacation Bible School this year. The theme was Power Lab- Discovering Jesus's Miraculous Power.

Playground Fun

Here are some pictures from our trip to the park Saturday. McKinley loved it because he had the whole playground to himself.

Little Firecrackers!

The Kanner's and Gore's had their own fireworks spectacular on the 4th of July. Here are the kids watching the show. McKinley did not like the loud noises, but really liked the sparklers.

(check out his shoes- he put them on himself!)

Fun Times with Addie

Yesterday, we went to Aunt Holly's house to play with the twins and Addie. We had a yummy pizza lunch and then let the kids play. Here is McKinley and Addie playing in the kiddie corral. Go figure, McKinley hated it when he was little, but got in there by choice this time and loved it. After the twins went down for their nap, we headed outside for some fun. First some sidewalk chalk.
Then a few kicks with the ball.

Rock climbing

I love this picture.....it shows how much fun McKinley was having.

And finally, tree climbing.

Look at the monkeys in the tree.

Playing at the Park

This week we met Aunt Tammy and Kate at the park for a picnic, and some play time. Here are the kids eating their lunch.After that we went over to the playground.
