Swimming Lessons

Today Tyler graduated from Aqua Tots!  It was a 4 week swim program at the Wave and he really loved it.  One of us was in the water with him to learn the basics, and next week he has lessons with just the instructor.  He came a long way in just 8 lessons and is much more comfortable in the water.  He is a bit apprehensive about goggles and going underwater, but is getting much better.  His teacher took some underwater pictures today, so as soon as we get those, we will share them as well!

Summer Day!

The weather here yesterday was amazing.  Temps near 70, blue skies, it was like summer came to visit for the day.  We had a full day of playing outside, starting with sandbox and beep beep time.  Then Tyler and I had a picnic at the park, where he ran around jumping from toy to toy with this enormous smile on his face.  We haven't been to the park in months, so it was good to be able to get back there.  Last night was our first BBQ of the year, with the Larkin tradition of tri tip and corn salad.  What a great day!



Playing with his Mack truck from Cars in the grass. 

 The John Deere tractor has gotten much use this past week.

On the "little kid" slide.  When he ran over to the "big kid" play area, I was shocked at how big he has gotten since we were last at the park.  He can climb the ladders like the big kids now, when last year that wasn't even a possibility.

Happy Easter!

Wishing you a joyful day!
