Lovebug Swims!

Lovebug had her very first swimming experience while we were at our hotel in Minnesota over Spring Break.  Now, I know some of you are probably thinking {What?!?  Her first experience in a pool?!?  What is WRONG with you?!?}... and I don't blame you for thinking that. 

Let me remind you of our crazy summer last year with selling our house, going to baseball games, selling our house, having family visit, and ya know, selling our house!!!  Let me also tell you that I, athletic director of Lynamland, do not know how to swim.  There.  I said it publicly.  Yeppers... I sink like a fat rock.  No joke.  There is not one part of me that can float.  Perhaps it has something to do with my control issues {I hate roller coasters, too}. 

Don't get me wrong... I wish I did know how to swim.  It's my favorite Olympic sport to watch.  Alas, 5 or 6 years of swimming lessons were of no help. 

*Ahem*... but I digress.

Since Mama's not so good in the pool, it only made sense that Coach be the one to take her swimming for the first time, right?  Right.  In my cool as a cucumber panic-stricken, terrified of her drowning, living my own fear through my own daughter, I watched as she literally JUMPED into the pool with Coach.  TERROR!!!  I tried my very hardest to not let her see it, though.  I wonder if she noticed.  I'm sure the other two families who were there did.  Oh well.

She took to the water like the sea turtle was earlier at the mall.  She had such a great time!!!  And of course, you know me, I made sure to get some pictures {though they are not of great quality... I forgot to charge my camera battery before our trip, so I had to use my cell phone a lot}.
