Spencer The Fish

For labor day weekend we went to visit the Dibbles in Arizona. It was quite a party, since Drew and Aunt Jean also came out. We got to see firsthand all the great work that Ellen and Dave have been doing in their bedroom and bathroom. We also toured some gigantic compost heaps, grilled out, put together some new furniture for the bedroom, and attempted to solve all the problems of the world.

However, the highlight of the trip was the pool. Dave and Ellen had told us that we should come visit so Spencer could play in their pool. They were 100% correct that he would like it. We have taken him to a couple other pools by us, and he has liked it for the most part, as long as the water was nice warm (at least 80°F). Dave and Ellen had their pool around 85°F, so it was very comfortable. Spencer also seems to be getting better at getting his face in the water. The first couple times we took him, he would get very angry if he accidentally swallowed some water. Now he just coughs it up a bit, then goes right back for the water.

  1. So cute!! I could watch the swim video over and over and still smile at all the love of having a new family member to get to know. It sure makes me long for a visit to see the little guy in person. Thanks for all the great video feeds! I bet it’s really hard for the grandparents and uncles and great aunts to say goodbye. If I win the lottery we are all living in a block radius… grandparents Von Bronk’s had the right idea…. Love to all.
