Swim Lessons

Today was the first day of Braydon's swim lessons. He was all excited and talked about these lessons for weeks leading up to today. We signed up for lessons at a local gym by our house. They have an indoor pool and offer 8 thirty minute lessons at a decent price. We arrived a little early and watched the other swim lessons going on. When it was time for our lessons Braydon walked right into the pool with me. Then when the teacher started he wouldn't do any of the things she asked. He usually loves water, but today he just was clinging to me. Then when we started to move to the deeper part of the pool he clung harder and started to cry and scream. He kept saying that I was going to drop him. Hopefully tomorrow's lesson will go a little better, because if this is what he is going to do all the time then it was a waste of money.

4th of July

Happy 4th of July! This was our first 4th of July being back in the USA and we spent it sweating to death! Well actually I took Braydon to see Madagascar 3 while Chris mowed the lawn in 99 degree weather. After Braydon and I got home we headed to the Potomac Nationals game. In theory that sounded like a good idea, however this was a very bad idea!

The game started at 6:30pm and it was still 96 degrees outside!!! The ball park didn't have any shade so we were just baking in the sun. After two innings we just couldn't take it anymore, and Braydon couldn't handle sitting in bleachers and staying still. We decided to head home and see if we could catch any fireworks at home. We say some and also watched some on TV.

After we put Braydon to bed we heard several neighbors lighting off their fireworks and also saw a major thunderstorm coming in. It was a good 4th but way too hot!!!!!
