Water Baby


Have to show G's mad swimming skills to the grandparents ;)

We have been taking swim lessons (loosely termed) for the past 3 weeks. Grayson loves being in the water, and I love the rhythm it gives our days, even though it does include getting suited up (literally), sunscreened, and wet everyday. Really, we just bounce around the pool singing songs and I dunk him under a couple of times. I mean, we won't be tossing him into the lake anytime soon, but I really do think he's picking up on somethings. You can see in the video he actually "scoops" and "kicks" (the official terminology for kiddie swimming). He's definitely the youngest in the class - which goes from 6 mos - 3/4 years - quite the range of kiddos. Zac had off one day last week and came to the lessons with us...I think Grayson loved showing off his skills.


This was at a nearby beach this weekend. Showing off his (semi-new) full fledged crawl and love for anything water related!


 And to round out our week in the water, our river trek to Tadake Falls! We took a nice hike through a small river to this awesome water fall and played a bit in the freshwater spring. The water was cool and clear to the bottom! It was an adventure, but the end of the day was the most eventful of all, losing several items (that quietly fell off as we trekked back) and a car that wouldn't start...in the middle of the jungle. Thankfully, we were with some friends and packed into their car (all 5 of us, carseat, and their dog) to find a car battery. All's well that ends well, and we made it back in one piece!
