Happy 4th of July!

Yesterday Steve, Jodie, Annika and Laurel invited us to go to Elm Creek Swim Pond with them.  We had never been there, but it was a perfect place to spend a super hot day and a great opportunity for Esme to practice everything she is learning in her swimming lessons.  

She was practicing all of her moves, including kicking and "ice cream scooping" and scariest of all - putting her whole face in the water.  We were there for about three and a half hours and because it was 100 degrees, we spent the entire time in the water.  The water where we were at was just the right height for Esme to stand up in and the rest of us to sit/float in the water. We were there so long she was pretty much going completely under water by the time we left!

Go Esme!!!  

I think we've got a little fish in our family and I see many swimming adventures in our future. :)  We all had such a GREAT time, we will definitely be going back to this pond soon and often!  Thanks Ericksons for inviting us! :)
