Hurricane Harbor
For birthday week day ONE, Lanna and I headed out to Hurricane Harbor for our first annual trip! I used to go there all the time when it was called "wet n wild" and I haven't been since I was 16!!!! It is one of my favorite places and I cannot even begin to tell you how much fun we had today! I felt like a little kid again. We got there right when it opened and stayed about 4 hours until it was time to go get Colt for swimming lessons. We rode almost every ride and ate my FAV...Papa Johns pizza!!! Things are a tad different since the last time I was there. They now offer wrist bracelets with bar codes to rent lockers as well as paying for food. We rented a locker and to open it all you do is wave your wrist band in front of a sensor and your locker pops open! No key to carry around! And to pay for food etc...all you do is pre pay and they add the balance to your wrist band. So when we got food, we never had to go to the locker and get our money, they just scanned our wrist band. Coolest thing ever!! I will be back...soon! Who's with me?!
We all know how I collect the hand painted Lolita wine glasses...Lanna gave me the WILD CHILD one for my birthday!! I was so surprised and shocked that she found it! I love it Lanna...Thank you thank you!!! It is now safe and sound in my china cabinet with the rest. I love birthday week :)
Swimming Lessons Day ONE
Swimming Lessons Day ONE
Today was Colt's first day of his week long swimming lessons. A sweet friend of my family has taught swimming lessons for YEARS. She was the one that taught me how to swim and now she gets to teach Colt. Colt had a good audience today as Blake, Yaya, Doodad, Gertie, and Poppy came to watch. It is a "mommy and me" type class and he is the youngest out of 5 other babies in his class. He did very well. Today we learned the basics...hold breath while going under water. Basically, you blow in there face and it makes them gasp and hold their breath. You then dip them under real quick. Colt let me know very quickly that he didn't think it was awesome. Next, you flip them to their tummy and lay their chest and head on your shoulder, grap their legs and kick them. Lastly, you go to the wall and put their hands on it like they are pulling them self up on the wall. All of these repetitious excercises help them grasp the idea of holding their breath and swimming to the wall like if they were to fall in etc... I can't wait for tomorrow's class :)
