13 Days Ago

I'm a little late in our 4th of July pictures!

We went to Alabama for the better part of the week and had a good time.

On the morning of the 4th, Katherine was a little excited to

get in the water and started prepping early!

 Uncle Sam even made an appearance!

I'm crossing my fingers our Christmas card

will have a picture this good of the two!

Two more Uncle Sams!

Ready to swim and begging for the gate to be opened!

 Jackson's favorite thing to do in the pool!

 Jackson and Katherine both took swimming lessons this year.  Katherine's class only worked on blowing bubbles in the water and floating on their backs.  During the lessons she always wanted me to let her go, but they weren't wearing floaties in the class, so she was frustrated.  Zach took his hands off of her here and she turned into a FISH!!  Our little girl is a swimmer.  She started kicking her legs and could get to wherever she wanted.

Our future Olympic swimmer in action!

Headed to help her older cousins pick apples . . .

she ate her weight in apples!

Since seeing the 'dinosaur robots' in New Orleans, Jackson had been asking non-stop to see the 'dinosaur bones' again.  So we headed back to Atlanta for the museum and while there Katherine experienced The Varsity for the first time.

 I don't have too many pictures from the museum since it was a repeat visit, but there was this new exhibit.

 Jackson ran in the exhibit, but once we chased him down in the first room, we had seen enough. It's a good thing we had eaten prior.

We had a pretty low-key and enjoyable holiday!
