Veyo Pool

We decided to go swimmimg with our good friends the McAllisters at the Veyo Pool. We love this pool, it is our favorite summer hang out. The kids can do so much, swim in the pool, catch crawdads, and they even found a little place to jump off some rocks. The picture above is the stream they catch crawdads in and the bridge that takes you over to the pool.
Amanda helping the kids get going on the crawdad fishing.
Rylie and McCall take a break from fishing to pose for a picture. How sweet!
Rylie, Mylee, Taya, and McCall posing for me! I love these girls they all get along so well that it makes it nice!
Now if only I knew how to edit these pictures I think that this one might turn out to be pretty neat! Jayden and Macee hanging out under the bridge catching crawdads. This was the Honey hole.
They where a little protective over their spot. This is Macee trying to throw me in the stream. Emphasis on the trying, she never did succeed. Look at Jayden just watch, you can tell she is really worried about me can't you?
All the girls catching crawdads, the little ones watching.
Rylie trying out the honey hole.
Adam and Macee got pretty competitive with the whole fishing part. It was fun to watch these two go at it!
Swimming time!! Here Jayden is standing with her head above water at the 4ft deep sign. It really isn't fair they grow up way to fast!
Rylie helping Taya swim. Taya doesn't love the arm floaties I can talk her into wearing the tube thank heavens!
Taya and Mylee ready to jump in the pool to whoever is willing to catch them. Brave little 2 year olds. These two little ladies don't have much fear at all.
Dad got to throw the kids around until he no longer could. It was a good thing that Jade got into help out or else those kids would have been disappointed alot earlier.
Jayden getting thrown by Dad doing some sort of frog dive. I don't know for sure!
See how high she can go. Wow!
Rylie helping Taya again. What a good big sister she is. When she wants to be!
Now it's off to the rock jumping.
Jayden and Macee sitting up on the rock waiting to jump!
Getting closer.
Dad teasing my moody child. I had no idea that it started as earlier as 9 years old. I hope I can make it through the rest.
So if any of you have ever heard the rumor that they drain the Veyo pool everynight to clean it up. Well here is proof. We stayed long enough that they started draining it, and the McAllisters know the owners pretty well so the kiddos got to play as it was draining. I love the picture above it looks as if they are sliding down the bottom of the pool. They aren't they are just lying there and Rylie just happened to be getting up right as I took the picture.
Here is the crew of Girls!
The water is getting lower and lower pretty quick.
Amanda on the look out. This really shows how low the water is.
Taya and Mylee playing ring around the rosies with Taya's little baby.
Jayden jumping off the step to what water was left.
Taya and Mylee playing in the shallow end.
Almost empty.
I love this picture.
Not much left. Taya decide that she need to go topless. Thats my girl!
It is just about done. Yep we stayed until the end!
Here I am jsut waiting for the kiddos to finish playing! I am hardly in any pictures, because I am the one always taking pictures. One day when my girls grow up they are going to ask if they even had a mom if I don't get better about getting in the pictures!
