A Little Green Friend

Look what we spied on the side of the road as we pedaled home from swim lessons:

Shhhh...She's a Polar Bear

CJ improved her front and back crawl enough that when we got her report card we learned that her next class will be at the Polar Bear level. She doesn't like to admit it however. I think she may be worried that the class will be held in the deep end of the pool. We're planning on taking a break for a while so maybe if we wait until next summer she'll be a bit taller and that won't be anything to concern her.

The Pool Calls

The weather has been pretty great this week, with sunny mornings and 80 degree afternoons. So we got a quick run in this morning and then headed back to the pool to meet up with friends. It is nice that CJ gets to play and practice her swimming at the same time.

Back to the Park

CJ had such a great time at Oaks Park, that we went back this week. We invited friends to join us, which made it even more fun.

And CJ convinced everyone to give the roller coaster ride a shot. They look pretty happy afterwards, don't they?

Clubbing It

Mama had a 5-day pass to an athletic club so today we met some friends with memberships there to enjoy the sun at the outdoor pool. The girls had a blast swimming and Mama enjoyed her time relaxing poolside. We could get used to this.

Another Fountain

The weather was great, so after the Reptile Man show, we headed outside for lunch and then played in the fountain and park.

Reptile Man

CJ joined some friends to see the Reptile Man at a local library. At the end there was an opportunity to pet a huge snake. CJ declined, but at the last minute gave it a quick touch.
