She came. She saw. She conquered.

We hadn't been to the local aquatic center all summer and since last night was beautiful weather, we headed there for a fun-filled swim.

The first thing Rea noticed were the slides!  She conquered them both over and over again. I love how swimming lessons have really helped her in the water. She was able to swim against the current at the bottom of the slides.  And she has really grown, she could touch in almost all areas. That's a good feeling too.

We had a fun night swimming and left just as the clouds rolled in..
