Swimming Lessons - Day 2

I won't add pics every day from Maren's swimming lessons, but when the subject is so cute...it's hard not to.

Day 2 - and still loving lessons! "My goggles work! No water in my eyes!," she yelled across the pool.

Note the "boat" she is on with another little girl. I mistakenly called it a "float" and she corrected me. "No, Mama, it's called a boat."

Swimming Lessons!

Maren started the "Mini Minnows" class yesterday at MVP Sportsplex. She loves it and her teacher, Miss Joan, who is a grandmotherly type. There are five little girls in the class.

Here are a couple of camera phone pics... one featuring her new obsession, her goggles, which she had to bring to school this morning to show her teachers and friends.

Adventure Girl

"Don't help me, Daddy, I'll do it myself!," as she climbed into the Magnolia tree, yet again...sigh...why couldn't she just love tea parties and things that are on the ground? Oh, wait, she loves those, too...and all kinds of adventure.

Pool!

From last weekend (a little chilly this weekend, although we did go to the indoor pool one day).

Note the "buckets" in the upper left...Maren was initially very scared of them (they periodically dump water on the swimmers below) but after she sat under a dumping with John and Uncle Jay she said "I'm not scared if I sit with a grown up!"
