Summer Swimmin'

Sean Patrick and I are back in swim lessons at the Rose Bowl Aquatic Center. We've been there for a couple of sessions now, but today was the first time Nicole joined us and took some pictures...

We tried to mimic this shot from a year ago.

Here's this years "attempt".

Wow, that kid has grown in a year hasn't he? Sean Patrick got bigger too.

Sean Patrick as a little grumpy because he wanted to get in the water right away but we had to wait our turn.


We didn't get many pictures of us in the water because when ever Sean Patrick could see Nicole, he'd get fussy and not do the exercises.

He does something now that is pretty cool. Once we are cleared to go into the pool, he'll walk down the ramp himself and at the end of the lesson, he'll walk out himself. Here's video of him on the way out.




Good times.

Swimming in San Diego

Sean Patrick and Daddy took advantage of the nice pool at the hotel where Mommy was working (at NARM). It was a bit breezy but nice, sunny day.






Daddy practiced some moves from swim class including "Humpy Dumpty" where the kids sit on the ledge of the pool, the parent counts to three and the kid jumps into the parent's arms. Here's a photo of this exercise:




And here's video of Sean Patrick demonstrating the "Humpty Dumpty" - although I missed the counting part because I hit record a bit late but you'll get the idea:
