swimmin

 This is from our second swim lesson. I need to take a new video. Now she moves her body like a wave while kicking. We have been going on our own a little to get her more used to the water. Plus she loves it!

We took this video using a Lifeproof case on my iphone

swimming and no fireworks

 

Yesterday we were going to go to the fireworks but with a storm coming in, we didn't want to get stuck in the city with Elinor and have to deal with all the traffic coming home. They ended up making everyone evacuate for a little bit and take shelter in a tunnel or at the mall. I'm really glad we decided not to go after that happened!

We did make it swimming. We recently joined the YMCA so Elinor can take swim lessons. We really don't have time to go that much so we keep telling each other anytime we have free time we have to go. Since the storm was coming in, it was a little chilly out. We stayed in the indoor pool. Ellie loved it. Her little legs just kick the entire time. After we showered and changed she passed out for 2 hours!

Last one! and it is the best. We took Elinor swimming for the first time. We went after Animal Kingdom for a little bit and again the next day. She loved it. She just kicked her little legs and looked around at everything. The resort had a lazy river we went through once too. I wish I didn't have to wait till she is 6 months for her to take lessons at the Y. I think she is going to be a water baby.

 swimming wore her out! After a bath, she snuggled with grandma on the porch and passed out

Dave took this one on the plane on the way home. She kept kicking her foot up on the armrest while I was feeding her. 

We had such a great trip. I was nervous before we left about everything and thought it might not be a good idea to go. It so relaxing for all of us. We needed to get away for a little bit on a none music related vacation.
