The weather has been nice and hot lately and we are taking advantage of it by going to the pool and beach often. The kids get tuckered out after a 2-3 hours and then we go home for them to nap for 2 hours. They are both eager to get into the water. It makes me a bit nervous because I can't move as fast with my pregnant belly. I would be very pleased if Ava can at least doggy paddle this summer. She was doing it by herself the last week of our Hawaii vacation last summer and I am hoping she can pick it up again very soon. Maybe we will go to swimming lessons again this summer. Last time Ava took swimming lessons it was just a Parent-And-Me class and she was 18 months old. Baby Beach in Dana Point is great for toddlers and young children. The water is warm, no waves, and is shallow for them to walk around and play.
Charlotte enjoyed playing in the sand and in the ocean as well. I didn't take any pictures of her in the ocean because she was wanting to walk in deep and I had my hands on her the whole time. She walked into the water up to her upper arms. I held on to the back of her arms. At home and in the pool she likes to let her bottom and legs float and tries to kick her legs. She keeps herself floating up in the bath tub by stretching her arms out straight against the bath tub floor.
We went to the beach with the Maakars and Hawkins. Going with friends or family to the beach with young children is the only way too go.
Baby Grant! Too cute! He was crawling along the water and didn't mind it one bit.
Our sprawled out pad. We had a good lunch and played.
