Memorial Day Weekend

What a busy weekend! Isaac made his first trip to Bonita Springs to visit Aunt Lynne & Uncle Ron. They were amazed at how big our baby has grown in the past five months! We had a lot of fun at the zoo and in the pool.
Isaac had fun riding Daddy's shoulders at the Naples Zoo. It was pretty busy as they had just opened a new exhibit featuring the Florida black bear. What a great family picture. Mommy & Isaac, Daddy, Aunt Lynne, and Uncle Ron. As we walked the nature trails we found the parents feeding their hatchlings. I wish that I had a book of native birds to Florida. The parents were beautiful white birds with a white headdress. Hmmm... I googled images and think it's snowy egret, but I'm not entirely sure...

After the zoo we went home and took a nap. After our nap it was pool time! Here Isaac is having a blast jumping into the pool with Aunt Lynne. This was only his second time in the pool since we came home from China. We went in the pool twice in China and he loved it. His first time in the pool here was at Aunt Wendy's house where he saw 3 year old Anthony jumping into the pool. Isaac says, "hey I'm a big boy too!" He would jump into the pool swim to the side (Really! He would kick his legs and swim to the side and try to pull himself up!!) Later I wondered if he could move his arms without the arm floaties. Big Mistake! Now he does NOT want the floaties on AT ALL!!! Mommy is looking into swimming lessons. Unfortunately the YMCA lessons start while we are visiting family in California so it looks like we are going to have to do private lessons. Michael Phelps watch out! Isaac has started his swimming career at 20 months old and he is fearless! I hope that his love of water continues and that he can have fun on a swim team. On Sunday some of Aunt Lynne's friends came over to meet Isaac and we had a BBQ at the pool. It was so much fun. Mommy was so busy jumping and swimming with Isaac that we didn't get any pictures. On Monday we went to Lake Pearl with Daddy's friends in Orlando. We are sad to have to say good-bye to our dear friends Matt & Mary as they prepare to move to Nashville. Stay tuned for more pictures at Lake Pearl. Mommy needs to head over to Mary's facebook page to download the pictures from the lake.

We took AA to ISR lessons, she learned to float on her back and save herself if she fell into a pool. Six weeks but it was worth it.
If he loves pools, it is a great program (for children/infants before they know how to swim).
