Time for a Dip in the Pool





I love, love, LOVE my baby girl. She has made me so proud! It's really kind of hard to explain. I feel more emotional that I ever thought I would over some pretty simple stuff. Yesterday was her first swim lesson. They basically tested all the kids to place them in the right class. Well today she was put in the beginner class. She no longer needs floaties... she can go underwater completely and stay down holding her breath. She can doggy paddle & tread water (she taught herself because at the end of class they were still working on the face in the water). I was so happy I could stop telling her just how proud and happy she made me. I even took her to wally world to get a new towel (mermaid of course) as a reward for conquering her fear. In wally world she said I gotta go to the bathroom bad!!! So we hurry into the stall and what do I see when my daughter pulls her suit down??? BUT UNDERWEAR!!! She forgot to take them off when she put her suit on this morning!! When she pulled them up she said mom, this feels weird. Of course I'm sure the panties were wet and cold. AHHH! My daughter, never a dull moment. The underwear thing was just tooo funny... since her daddy made her wear underwear under her suit the first swim party she went to (I was working and couldn't take her). Like Father like Daughter.

Our SeaWorld Adventure

Okay yesterday we took Katherine to SeaWorld with friends. It was blistering hot and my loving hubby who hates the heat agreed. I still don't know why he wouldn't put his swimsuit on and cool off in the water park, but he didn't. Katherine loved the lazy river.. so did I except it was sooooo crowded.

Above Danny went on the first "ride" I have ever seen him go on. He just doesn't do rides. But he took Katherine and her bestest friend on the water floom ride... he actually liked getting squirted by Katherine's friend's mom.. he said if felt good!



Katherine posing for me... we had just finished watching Shamu Rocks Texas

I just love Shamu... those whales are such majestic beautiful creatures.


I thought of my SIL here... I know how much PJ loves Texas.



So proud of being an American... I just loved the flag ceremony... and they didn't
get the flags wet either. Thought of my friend Amy with this one
after all the 4th of July is her favorite holiday.
So there you have it a small glimpse at what we did for a staycation. In fact Danny may not go back until it's cooler weather.. but I am. We didn't get to see hardly anything.. I have more shows to watch.. more animals to see... more everything. I LOVE SEAWORLD!
