Ready to go! Until recently, I didn't understand the concept of the long-sleeved swimsuit, especially in the Texas heat. But my mom picked this one up for Sara, and apparently the suit is made of material with built-in SPF. Genius!
When we dipped her toes for the first time, she quickly pulled them up out of the cold water. After the initial dunk, though, Sara was all about the water. She enjoyed her starfish float very much.
Sara swam a few laps with Dad. She kicked her legs and everything! Sara really enjoyed watching all of the big kids splash around. Before we know it, she'll be diving for rings, too.
Here's an attempt at the backstroke. Maybe she'll be a swimmer like her Grandma W.
Sara's first swim was a huge success! She didn't shed a single tear (for which I'd readily prepared myself), and she squealed with excitement multiple times (which makes my heart leap over and over). This summer is looking more and more fun by the moment!
Now it's nap time for Sara and cold-refreshment-with-lemon-time for mom and dad. Hey, it's a holiday!

So happy she enjoyed the pool, that will make the summer super fun! I think we just missed you guys at the pool. It was crowded when we went so we didn't stay long, not to mention I didn't put sunscreen on Pierce's head =(
There's nothing like a good swim!
Love
Grandma W
