We spent a weekend of Spring Break in Orlando, just hanging out. It was only about 80 degrees, but these guys wanted to swim everyday we were there. It was about 70 degrees in the morning, when they actually swam, which is not nearly warm enough for me.
Yeah right! She discovers that's not true.
Cailin loves bugs. They can be a small as an ant or as big as a lizard (she calls them bugs too)! She will try to touch them or pick them up if you let her. It creeps me out. I always find myself across the way from her (because I have placed myself as far away as safely possible) yelling put that bug down, Cailin.
This is Cailin's first time in the pool in a long time. I took her in before over my Mom's house, but she was a just a baby then. When Jerry put her on her stomach, she started flap her arms and kicking her legs. Look at those faces she is making. Oh my!
Jerry found the floating swimsuit and arm floats in the garage and he put them on Cailin.
Then he just lets her go in the pool. She flopped back on her back and was very unsure about it.
But then she got the hang of it and also probably recognized that she would stay on top of the water.
Because she started having a blast and kicking her legs.
She was a regular pro after a while.
Jerry lowered Cailin into the pool and while bobbing up and down, her mouth went under the water. She must have swallowed or inhaled some water because she got out of the pool coughing. Once she was out she said, "I choke". It was hilarious. We laughed and laughed. I am always wondering where does she pick up certain words and how does she know about choking. It was funny!
I'm just looking out the patio door, trying to take photos of them in the pool, unaware of me. And this is what I get. Ha!
The house we were staying in had a lake in the back. It warned of not feeding the alligators. I know that people must do it, because we live in Florida, but who would live in a house that has alligators in the back yard. I mean how could you raise kids in that house. Anyway, a plus was that there were ducks on the lake and as soon as we stepped out the lanai, they immediately flew over to join us. Jerry fed them bread while Cailin tried to pet them.
And when they had their fill of the bread they just started waddled off toward the lake again.
The house we stayed in had a skee ball game in the garage. I think we played skee ball every day we were there. She scores!
Uh oh! Jerry is serious now!
Ariel and Jerry went swimming every morning, even though it was only about 70 degrees outside, and poor Cailin wanted to swim too. Her little teeth were chattering and she was trembling and shaking to stay warm, so we went inside and continued her swim in the bath tub. She had fun just the same
