Our Kids

The girls got into swim lessons! There was quite a rush this weekend since the server at the community center went down and there were hoards of angry parents storming the place to get their kids into summer classes. Lucky for me I was only mildly annoyed at home and by the time I got to the center I had talked myself into the “hey what is the big deal” corner so I was calm and cool. Maybe it paid off because we got into some of the most coveted summer classes….swimming!

Now this is just the put your head under and blow bubbles class but Piper said she was ready. I enrolled Lela but I don’t think she is ready but maybe I will be surprised and we decided to let her decide for herself and not force our opinion of what she wants on her (at least not until she is a tween:). So every Saturday until late June you will find us at the Hamilton Pool doing classes. I am not too fussed about them learning how to swim but I thought Piper would enjoy it. They do a lot of “swimming” in the neighbors pool but they don’t go under on purpose:)

The other day we were at a park with a big lake and Lela said she wanted to go fishing. I instantly thought of my Grandpa and how he took us fishing. There was a fish fry at the end of the fishing too and I remember it being delish. Sometimes we would even have fresh sugar cane to gnaw at the end. Anyhoo, good thing for us we are taking a trip to Greer and staying at a fishing lodge in a couple weeks. Maybe someone will take her fishing there:)
