Mini-vacation #4

(After ABVD)

Part 6

We arrived at Sarah and Jeff's house on Thursday afternoon. This was the first time that Nate met Uncle John and his cousins - Lucy, and Flora. Rachael came to Nathaniel's birthing, but the other guys had to stay in Shepherdstown during that period. Do you think that Flora is charmed with her new cousin?

We discovered that Sammy had swim lessons at the Bridgport Municipal Pool in the early evening. Swim lessons for a three year old are just basically water play. Lucy and Flora were invited to attend. They were thrilled. All the grandkids donned their swim suits and we were off once again to a water activity.

The Bridgeport pool is a nice facility. It also has a water park for the kids in addition to a large pool area.

Flora is sitting beside Sam. Sam was not really excited about getting into the water. The water temperature was cool. Sam takes after Grandpa - we both hate cold water!







Dad tried to acclimate Sam to the cold water. I do not think that this technique worked well. He loved his Dad's hugs over the prospect of entering the icy waters.

Nate was taking in all the activities.

Flora and Lucy had no problem with the cold water. Off they went to paddle around with the other kids.



Uncle Jeff helped Miss Lucy jump off the diving board. The life guard was catching the kids that could not swim.

Our feerless Lucy went on the board and off without any trouble. She did it several times!

At the end of the pool experience, the life guards turned on the water to the water park area. The kids loved it! Flora was under the dumping buckets and enjoying every drop of water that tumbled down.





Lucy in action once again!








Sam and Lucy are checking out the water tower.




Wait! What is this below? I will explain this in the next blog and this will be the last installment of Mini-vacation #4 (After ABVD)
