Splish, Splash

We took Sadie to the pool on Saturday & she got to show off her tricks for Bryan. She has gone to swimming lessons once a week for the past 6 weeks & I can tell improvement. She can officially float on her back by herself, although, I still get a little nervous when we do this! She can also go under water for 4-5 seconds at a time. She likes to go down the slide & jump off the side of the pool also, as long as I am holding her :)

At our neighborhood pool, she discovered the handrail. She loves to hang on to it while she practices standing:

Of course she tries to eat it also - you know everything still goes straight to her mouth!

Then she wanted to float around so she could check out the whole pool:

And she worked hard kicking her legs & splashing her arms:

After all that hard work, she decided to hang out with her Dad & relax:

But you know she can only hang for about an hour than it's time to head home. Good thing she has her favorite towel to dry her off & keep her warm!

Here's to enjoying the last few trips to the pool before they close it for summer. Although this little fish will keep swimming all winter since her swim lessons are at an indoor pool. After the excitement of the Olympics for the past 2 weeks, we hope we have a professional swimmer in our family!
