This was Maggie last summer when she had her first encounter with swimming.
We are trying to improve on that experience. We started swimming lessons last week. I think it’s going to be a good thing.
We did songs and games in the big pool for the first 30 minutes, and then Maggie floated in this tube in the baby pool for the last 15 minutes. It was a good family outing. Hopefully we’ll be ready for camping trips this summer!
The weekend was a whirlwind of activity – more on that later… We took a bit of time out to go to an Easter Egg Hunt at the Old Towne Square shops near my school.
Maggie managed to snag a grand total of one egg. One. The poor girl walked past a bunch of eggs to get to where all the kids were. Well, those kids were 3 and 4 years old and were highly motivated by the candy prizes in the eggs. Needless to say the whole egg “hunt” took about 4 minutes, and that’s counting redropping Maggie’s one egg so that we could get some pictures! Oh well, next year we can try again.
The weather was gorgeous yesterday! Despite the full work day and an evening of things to do, we eeked out some time to play outside. I’m taking yesterday as an indication that this summer is going to be pretty amazing! Wally, of course, loves being outside. Maggie is enamored with the outdoors as well, especially if Wally’s there.
