We decided at the last minute to go play in the water... not at our pool but at a water park that's about an hour and a half away. We didn't have time to spend an entire day there, but long enough for the kids to have fun and do things I'm pretty sure they've never seen before. I brought out my camera for a short time... Cameras and water do not mix very well. I didn't want to make a horrible mistake and trash my camera or my phone.Since I don't have a ton of pictures, I'll have to explain how Jordan was incredibly brave. I'm a nervous person when it comes to water and my kids. Neither are expert swimmers. So the first thing they do is play in a wave pool. Big waves, shallow pool. I wondered if they could handle it. I wanted them close to the entrance of the pool but they didn't need to. They had so much fun jumping over those waves. By the end of the day, Jordan was floating through them. It was really cool.Next up (after the super shallow kiddie area that Jordan wanted to at least try out) was a lazy river. Jordan sat on my lap as we checked out all of the other slide options. The first pick was a pool with lily pads you could leap across to get to some super fast slides. Jordan crawled along the pads and LOVED the experience. She also went down the slides and at least once swam all the way to the pool stairs by herself. I was so proud.Then we grabbed inner tubes, climbed up the stairs to slide down and then enjoy a "roaring" rapids area. I was worried Jordan wouldn't be able to hang on to the tube by herself. She's skinny. She's not that tall. I worried about her being able to hang onto the handles. My head was running through all the scenarios and felt nervous. But Jordan powered through. She hung on. She loved it so much, she and I went back down again while her brother and dad did something extra exciting that she's not tall enough to do. I am proud of both kids for pushing past initial fear and having a lot of fun.I'm seriously thinking about signing Jordan up for a new indoor swim team that's getting started at the beginning of September. She's becoming a good swimmer when she uses both arms. She wanted to work on her swimming in the pool today and her distance is increasing so much. It's super exciting and I can only imagine how much stronger she will get with regular swimming year round.But for now... It's time to get back to school. Next week is her first full week of Kindergarten! I'm looking forward to seeing how it goes. She still has a very positive attitude about school and learning. (Thank goodness!)
