Memorial Day at the Farm

We headed to the family farm for Memorial Day Weekend. Gracie was staying on the farm while we headed to Florida. This was going to be Lukas' first time in the pool since last summer. We were curious to see how he did without his float pack and how much he remembered from his swimming lessons the year before. Our brave little swimmer from the summer of 2009 and 2010 has become much more cautious of deeper water this year. He still LOVES the water but asks where the deep water and the short water is before jumping in. I was glad to see that he remembered had to swim. He kicks very well and swims mostly under water; seems to have forgotten how to use his arms. He can swim but wants to be able to put is feet down to take a breath. He went off the board twice with his dad in the pool but decided it was too much work and was a little unsure so he stuck to the shallow end (or short end as he calls it). He was pretty much in the water from sunup to sundown everyday.

He still likes to go under water for the dive sticks and rings. Playing in the water with cousin Abbie and Aunt Kate.

Having lunch poolside under the umbrella of their new kids only table that grandma tractor got them.
