President's Day

Dan actually had President's Day off.  He hardly ever gets time off so we thought we better take advantage of it.  Sam had swimming lessons (which he loves) on Monday at 11:30 and the open swim starts at 12:15 so we thought we would all take our swim stuff and go swimming after his lesson.  He was in heaven with Dan at his lesson.  He loved to show his dad his great swimming moves.  He really is starting to swim well.  Which is great because we have cherry hill passes and I really want him to be swimming by then. 

We had a lot of fun but there were a TON of people there.  I don't do well with a ton of people in a small area.  I was going a little bit crazy.  Okay, a lot crazy but I sucked it up to have good family time.  Sam went down the slide one time and didn't like how fast it was so we hung out on the sidelines while Ellie and Dan went over and over and over.  Ellie LOVED it.  I took her a couple times but the second time the slide really spit us out and we both went under water and neither her nor I liked that.  Since Dan weighs more then me he went much slower on the slide and she loved going with him.  I mean, does that face not yell, I am loving this?

She is going to love Cherry Hill this summer.  We really need to get a small point and shoot camera.  The Iphone doesn't take the best quality. I'm kind of over packing the gigantic camera around.  We came home and had lunch and Ellie went down for a super late nap.  Dan decided he really wanted to go on a hike and took Sam with him.  They both love hiking, I hate it.  They were gone pretty much the rest of the day.  Dan gave his mom and dad a heart attack because they didn't know that Libby went with them and they weren't answering their cell phones and it was getting dark.  They were worried that something had happened to them.  Nope, they were just hiking 5 miles with a 4 year old so it took a bit longer then usual.  It was a fun day and I am proud of myself for going to a crowded place on a holiday for family fun when I would have rather stayed home.  I have issues, I realize that.
