Water Baby

We went to the pool last night for the first time. Camryn has never been in a big swimming pool, so I expected her to be a little leery. We started in the kiddie pool and she got bored with that pretty quickly. She pointed to the big pool and said, "Go to big pool, mommy." So, we took her into the big pool and we started to teach her how to "swim" by showing her how to kick her legs and move her arms. She is a natural!! She is definitely daddy's little girl in that respect because I don't particularly like swimming. She was "swimming" in no time. She is definitely going to be a little fish this summer, which is just fine by us. We are very glad that our pool passes are going to be put to good use!!!

Another good thing for the summer is that Gymboree classes are now unlimited. We only went once a week in May, but we can go to any or all level 5 classes every week now if we want to in addition to the free play times. We just got back from our class today and she continues to absolutely love it!! Today, they pretended to be monkeys - she had a blast. All we have to do is ask her, "What day is today?" and she immediately responds with "Gymboree day!!!!"

I am also officially on vacation. It feels great, although it hasn't really sunk in yet. I spent yesterday BY MYSELF since Camryn was scheduled to go to daycare. I don't remember the last time I spent the day doing nothing. It was very nice. I think Camryn knew it was her last day because she didn't want to leave. It was cute. They are having a family picnic in a few weeks, so she will be able to see her friends that day. We are going to try to stay busy this summer so we don't get bored. I think we have done a good job so far!!

I really should be taking a nap now that Camryn is napping. I successfully walked my 2 straight hours for my Relay for Life team last night from 11 PM - 1 AM. My friend, Erin, and I were very glad to have a night walk because it is supposed to be in the upper 90s today. No thank you. It was in the 70s last night and very humid, but it was doable. We walked a little over 7 miles and it felt good. Well, except for the huge blister on the bottom of my foot today. But, that is a minor thing to deal with when compared to those we were walking for.

Alright, I need to go make some pasta salad for a picnic we are going to later. I guess that nap isn't going to happen!
