The Water Part 1

My three musketeers. 
There are some pretty amazing things about the three of these kiddos. It is fun to watch them encourage each other to try new things, take a chance. They definitely push each other and I love that about their relationship. When it came to the water it was no different. One would jump, two would quickly follow. One would jump, one would follow because Rex took a little longer to get the courage up, but he would be right there with them on the next jump. I feel so proud of the little people that these three are becoming.
Hannah joining the life-jacket crew! She was quite the jumper as well!
Titan did make it into the lake a few times, not jumping, of course but in our arms. It was still probably a little chilly for this liking. Although the water was amazing, 75 degrees, 76 degrees, 80 degrees on the last day that we were swimming.
It took Titan all of three full days to warm up to Nana and Papa and their house. In his defense there were a lot of new people and a new environment, but he was only content in mine or Dan's arms. My parents had a hard time believing me that he really is such a joy-filled little guy. By the fourth day, the day before we left, he even let Nana hold him without crying. Success.

Little does he know that Arkansas will be one of his favorite places to go.
Took way too many pictures. But I love getting the sequence shots.
Myla doing her thang...
Rex doing his fall....
Quinton being a crazy fish...
Papa and my pretty girl. I think a smile was glued to her face any time she was touching the water.
Rex hanging on tight. Although the most skeptical and nervous, he seemed to love being in the water as well as the rest!
Jill and Josiah. Jill is expecting their third, a little boy, the end of August!
Titan playing with some cups of water, mommy was close by!
Quinn and Myla loved the swimming in open water, Rex not as much. They loved swimming to Papa or Joe, or myself, they loved jumped off the boat and frantically swimming around it. They were crazy.
We spent many, many hours toughing it out on the boat.

Rex being the captain.
Myla embracing Titan in one of her tight neck squeezes. She is one good hugger!
He enjoyed the boat.
Another tight neck squeeze for her favorite guy in the world.
Nana and Quinn, probably learned about something cool while riding on the boat.
The McGargills. One good looking family.
Myla being captain while eating a sour gummy worm.
Dan, Nana and Quinn.
Proof, I was on vacation with my family in Arkansas.
In case you were feeling like you didn't seem enough jumping, have no fear, there is a part 2 coming! Just can't get enough of Arkansas.
