Swimming Season

Swimming season has began. I've been waiting for this time since February. I was so excited to take Madilyn for her first time. So the first day in May that it hit triple digits we were out in the water. The day was so nice and the water was freezing. I thought for sure I would get some kind of squeal out of Madilyn, but nothing just a look at me like "what do you have me doing now?" I put her in her raft/floaty and she laid her head back and just floated. Once I got her use to it she started to splash and flash her fabulous grin.

We just had our first Mommy Tot lesson on Tuesday. It was so much fun. Madilyn really enjoyed it. Before the end of the summer little miss thing will be doing cherry bombs!!

Little cutie patutie!!

Working on her summer tan :)

Arthritis Walk

The first of May we spent the morning at the Phoenix Zoo doing a walk for Arthritis. I thought this would be a great opportunity for Madilyn to see all the different animals. We started off on the walk passing by the giraffes. There was one right next to us eating out of his bin. I was so excited for Madilyn to see this large animal for the first time. However, after several minutes trying to get her attention to focus on this large animal it was apparent she was more interested in the hundreds of people doing the fundraiser walk. So Jill, Sara and I enjoyed the rest of our walk watching the animals while Madilyn observed all the people. I will have to try it again next year maybe she'll be more interested.

There was only a river and wall to my knees between this cheetah and myself!!
