swimmin' in the pond

our friend jason artman was house sitting for a friend and he invited the wutang family and the flowers/artman clan over for a bbq and some swimming in the pond on sunday.
hayden was more than a little excited to put on his floaties and jump into some water again. although he was pretty nervous when we first got there since he couldn't see the bottom. we insisted that it was no different than in the pool he was at a few weeks earlier, but he still didn't trust it.
i was swimming around with talan when i heard a splash and people clapping. i turn around to see that hayden had jumped off the dock right into the water. i don't even think anyone was trying to get him to do it, he just did it all on his own.
when it was time to eat we couldn't get him out of the water, even when we assured him we'd go back in after we ate.
jessica had been up at the church recording a cd and was able to come over right when we started eating. she didn't have her bathing suit (and i'm sure she wouldn't have gotten in anyway) but she did go out on the paddle boat and watched talan as he didn't really care for a round 2 of floating around the pond. he did love throwing rocks into the pond with bella, however.
it was a really nice and relaxing sunday afternoon and it was great to finally hang out with jason again. thanks for inviting us! hayden wants to come back soon!


jason always has fabulous ideas. this one was to pull bella with the paddle boat:
