Pioneer Day

In case you live outside Utah and don't know, today is Pioneer Day. The entire Hutchinson family was off work except for Adam. The NYSE, NASDAQ etc don't recognize Pioneer Day. Blasphemy!
We had the family over to our place for Pioneer Day brunch. It was fabulous. We, then, headed out to the pool to enjoy the warm weather.
Above: Joseph thinks splashing is just so fun. It is, unless your face is right where his feet are. Joe loves the pool. He mostly loves throwing every rock in site into the pool but at least he's happy. Good thing Ella LOVES to dive for rocks.
Just this week Grace has started jumping into the pool without us having to "catch" her. She is finally getting totally comfortable with the pool. Thank heaven!
(Does this child look like a Boston or what?)

Ella is our resident mermaid, not fish, mermaid! Here she is showing Grandma that she can dunk herself over and over and over. She got to 40 this time. I would pass out but she loves it. I love having help at the pool. Its usually just me with the three kids and there is nothing relaxing about it. I actually got to swim a bit then relax is the warm sun today. It was a good day all around.
