Swimming Lessons

Audrey took her 2nd year of swimming lessons this July. She became quite a water bug through the course of them. This year it was more of the same from last year. The main goal is to get the kids to be comfortable in the water.

She liked to "swim" this year. Basically we would hold her up and she would do the motions of doggie paddeling and kicking her feet. She also learned to go under water which she enjoyed. I was totally not expecting her to like that, but she surprises me all the time. Her favorite part was jumping off the ledge to us. On her last day, she did that for a good 20 minutes. She is quite the dare devil.

4th of July

This 4th of July we headed to Georgia to visit Dave's brother and his family. We hadn't seen them in quite some time and it was fun to catch up and let the kids play together. Tiana just turned 8 and Ty is 3 1/2.

The long weekend consisted of playing on the slip n' slide, visting the Georgia Acquarium, and fireworks of course. Audrey sort of got the hang of the slip n' slide, but mostly enjoyed crawling through the water ring and landing in the pool at the end. Her favorite part of the acquarium was watching the penguins. They had a penguin crawl where you could crawl through the habitat and pop your head up through glass holes and get really close up to the penguins. She loved it! We had to go through twice and buy a stuffed penguin at the gift shop on our way out. As for the fireworks, she enjoyed the snaps and sparklers, but not so much the noise of the bigger fireworks that Dave and Troy set off. Maybe next year!

We all had lots of fun and can't wait to do it again soon!
