I signed Luke up for swim lessons with Liz in the same session with cousin Alivia. Carina and I kept it a secret until the kids saw each other at the pool the first day. They were surprised and excited. Monday morning at 11 Am we started lessons. I always enjoy sitting in the patio furntirue beside the pool watching. Each year Luke gets a little better and is really getting to be a good swimmer. Unfortunately for him, lessons are the only time he really swims. We only make it to the pool a couple times a summer and most of the time at the pool is spent goofing and not swimming. Luke and I went to the park after and had our cold lunch sandwiches and took a walk.
Jayden brought Ace and Traveler to the vet for an appointment in Ames and I met her after lunch and listened to the vets diagnosis and plan. She also brought Jake so I could take him to his derm appt. We had to coordinate our day just right to make it all work. Jake has been taking the same strong acne medication Jayden took. He has to see his doctor monthly for about a year.
Tuesday Luke was invited over to a boy from church named Stuart's home to meet him and play some on their guitars together, while us moms visited. Next it was on to swim lessons where afterward Wade and Alivia went with us to lunch. The swim lessons are going really well. Luke is learning all his strokes and does them the long way across the pool. I can see his improvement each year.
Wednesday Alivia went home with Luke and I after swimming . I brought sack lunches and we ate at the park. Then we went to our house and she stayed. We got Traveler out for her to ride. She brushed and groomed him and rode for 2 hours. At first she thought his trot was so fast. He is not like a pleasure horse that she is sued to. She did great on him and was brave wanting to lope. When we finished and I unsaddled him, while putting the other horse away she had gotten on him bareback, very sneaky. Good thing he is well broke.
