Zoo Adventure, swim lessons, and t-ball

On Tuesday, we went to the zoo. We met friends there and took the kiddos swimsuits so they could splash and play in the stream area in the children's section. I even got to wade with K!


You have to sit down in it (or lay) and get splashed to get totally wet, but somehow our kiddos managed it!



Then it was on to the first day of swim lessons. E's were first and I thought we might have some tears (the parents are asked not to stay and watch), but she just sat down on the top step as instructed and waved goodbye to me. I guess she is just so excited that the separation was fine. Ms. S says she is doing really well and is confident in the water already.

I snuck back a few minutes early and got this pic of her swimming. She is loving it so much!

C is also excited and couldn't wait to go to swim lessons this year. This is his second year to take them. This year, they are learning to get rings in the water. He is very excited about this part!

Then, C had t-ball practice. He is taking lessons through the city at one of the rec centers. It was really fun to watch them all. They started with the very basics explaining every part. C really enjoyed and doesn't want to wait until next Tuesday to go again!

Below, they are standing in a circle and were throwing the ball to another child across from them. C did well, but a funny part-- when it wasn't his turn, he would spin around in a circle. It so reminded me of when a first time player would stand in the field just playing in the dirt while the game went on around them. C didn't miss anything, but you could tell they don't get that need to pay attention to everything yet.

Here he is hitting the ball.

Today, Wednesday, we took a break from our adventures. Everything we did on Tuesday, wore me out! And I think the kids too! So we stayed in before swim lessons. Then went to them, to eat, and to church! More adventures tomorrow.

Have a blessed day!
