We had an amazing spring break trip to Arizona to visit Grandpa Bart and Frankie Dog. The goal was to swim every day and we did!
The pool at Dad's club is amazing for the kiddos - Zero entry and a max depth of 1.5 feet so they could comfortably play while we sat in the shade and watched or played with them. Poor Lillian got a pretty terrible heat rash that turned into a sunburn but it didn't stop her for a second. She hated having sun screen or any lotion put on it (it stung!) but I'd tell her she couldn't go into the pool without sunscreen and she would tough it out. She is tougher than I am, that's for sure. She LOVED swimming and could not have been happier than when she was in the pool. She had lots of confidence going without a 'floaty' and generally loving the feel of the water. She'll be swimming in no time! Simon also enjoyed playing, but preferred to always have the floaty on, even in the shallow water.
Simon also played golf with Grandpa Bart almost every day for an hour - one day they were at the driving range for 2 hours! Both Simon and Grandpa Bart's swing improved after the week of practice.
Funny note: At one point Simon was complaining that his goggles were way too loose, that there was so much water coming in.... but upon closer inspection they were sunglasses.

Talking on the phone, she still shows the phone whatever she is talking to - kids of the iphone/skype generation!
