To make you feel like you were at the pool

We were able to introduce Easton to the great, big, world of swimming while we were in Cali. Here is a photo documentation of how it went. {warning: this post is long} Captions will be above the picture I am describing.

Easton was unsure what he thought at first and clung pretty tightly to Daddy.

Then he gave us a glare that said "what the heck are you doing to me?"
After chewing on familiar rings he started to warm up to the idea.
And was even ok to be away from Daddy's body.
Then he started genuinely enjoy himself.
See? So cute!
We even got a little smirk--gotta love that.
Then, he suddenly noticed the water around him.

And got even closer for a better look.
Finally, the "I want that" lips came out.
We were able to distract him from eating the water with a little trick that brought this look to his face.
Daddy blowing bubbles under the water!
That made him VERY happy!

But not when they got in his face.
He couldn't resist any longer and needed to find out what this water was all about.
(After that encounter, he sneezed, looked around and was back to his happy self)
Just a few minutes later, Daddy was distracted and talking to someone, so he went in for the kill again.
Closer, closer.

Got it!
Finally we finished up with some family pictures.
Easton got distracted.
And decided to eat Daddy's face instead.
We can't wait to take him again!
