The Snyder Family: Our water weekend

Have I told you lately how different my two girls are? Well....if you haven't heard in awhile....here goes! We had a REALLY BUSY Memorial Day weekend. In the previous post I said how much Kelly LOVED meeting new friends and swimming in our pool in the backyard, while Molly just stayed on the deck with all the adults. Sunday we took our boat out on the river for the first time. Kelly LOVED everything about it.....the boat ride, Daddy hitting waves, going fast, etc. where Molly just had her Mommy DEATH GRIP most of the time! When we get to the beach, Kelly hops right into the water to swim and play in the sand on the beach. I only see her the rest of the time if she wants a juice box or is hungry for lunch and a treat. I set Molly in the sand to take her life jacket off and she cries! I try to get her toes in the water, she cries! So, we put her on the blanket and in her sun shade protector. She's all good. But.....then sand gets onto her blanket....she cries! If you told an almost 18 month old that she could ONLY stay on this blanket.....do you think she would do it? NO!!!! But.....Molly was either held or on the blanket the entire time on the beach. Needless to say.....we weren't out on the river very long and swim coach Mommy has A LOT OF WORK TO DO!!!

Kelly LOVIN' the boat ride!

Molly wasn't so sure of this whole boat ride/river thing!

Since our first river trip was so short....we met up with Brian's family friends that were in town and went swimming at the hotel pool in Dyersville. Once again KELLY LOVED IT!!!! She didn't want to get out of the pool at 8:15pm (and she only slept the 30 minute ride home from the river). I bet she jumped into the pool 100+ times! I thought I would get in and swim and see if Molly would come to me in the pool....once again she cried!!!!!!!!
