Swimming!!
Kennedy started swim lessons in May, and she loved it at first, wasn't so sure about it for a bit, and now loves it again. I am not pushing her to become a pro swimmer, I really just want her to not have a fear of water and be comfortable with water. I also want her to know some of the safety things they're teaching her, such as if you come in off the wall you immediately go to grab the wall, or if you fall in the water you can immediately turn over to your back and float.
She loves the songs we sing, and enjoys floating on her back and kicking her legs. She isn't such a huge fan of pushing herself off the wall when sitting on it to come to me, but she's getting there. She is also getting better at grabbing the wall on her own from in the pool if I let go of her.
Now, since I am in the pool with her I don't have a lot of photos, just those from when my parents come to watch. So here are a few from one session, this was during the time she wasn't 100% sold on some of the things we were doing, and we had JUST started going under the water too.
We'll be doing lessons as long as she'll tolerate them, so I think that will be awhile.

Memorial Day 2011
We had been trying to get Austin's family out to California for awhile. Now, mind you, getting a family of 5 to California is no easy or cheap feat, BUT when we got the call that they were indeed coming, and coming in May for Memorial Day weekend we were beyond excited and could not wait!!!
Kennedy was excited to see her cousins and Auntie Jen and Uncle TJ. The last time she was them was in April 2010, way way too long in my opinion. We have GOT to make it to New Mexico sometime soon.
We spent Friday just hanging around and playing with the kiddos...
Then went to the city on Saturday. Headed out to Pier 39, adn drove across the Golden Gate. Unfortunately it decided to pour down rain as we got to the bridge, so we couldn't get out to walk a little bit with the boys.
Sunday we headed the beach and thankfully it was gorgeous!! We went to Seabright in Aptos (Santa Cruz area). The boys had a blast, and Kennedy got used to the idea of walking around on sand (she wasn't so sure at first).
We cannot wait for the next visit, but hopefully we'll be out to visit them sooner rather than later.
