Swimmin' in Grandpa's Pool

Grandpa Rich and Lindsay.... Roxy was just hanging out with us on the side of the pool trying not to get splashed!

Grandpa and Lindsay :)


Mama and Lindsay... I think I went a little overboard on sun protection... hat..check. Sunscreen..check. Giant umbrella over where she would be....check. LOL.


Jackson was next to me wondering what was going on... he did not jump in the water.lol.





A few days before Father's Day, Lindsay and I made an impromptu trip to Bakersfield to celebrate Father's Day with my Dad and Lindsay's Grandpa! We ate Rusty's Pizza and christened Grandpa's pool! Thank goodness the weather was warm the past few weeks of 100 degrees so the pool was really warm.

Being in the pool with my Dad reminded me of precious memories of spending the summer at my Grandpa Clay and Grandma Rosie's house. They had a pool where Grandma taught me how to swim, and Grandpa would bravely protect us from wasps with his trusty fly-swatter, which he kept on the side of the pool for good measure. My sweet Grandpa is in heaven now, but I know he would smile if he could see how our pool fun was being passed on through my Dad & Lindsay.

We love you Grandpa Rich!! We had so much fun! Happy 1st Grandfather's Day!

  1. Flotation device with sun shade... Check!

    That's so funny! I was just going to send you a text or message asking if you guys had gone swimming again. Looks like she loves the water as much as her cousin does.

    I think putting that big umbrella on it's side was actually a very smart idea! You can never be too careful with sun protection.
