This past weekend, Porter and I had a wonderfully busy weekend. It began Saturday morning with swim lessons; Porter is taking lessons with Mac King every Saturday morning. Adair and I are participating too, and it's fun to watch the boys learning to kick and put their face in the water. Porter particularly loves the safety drills; climbing out of the pool and then jumping back in -- what fun! Coach James has been great with both boys; wonder if we have any Michael Phelps's in the making??
After swim lessons, Porter and I met Grammy and his cousin Maylee at the zoo. She was in town with Uncle Jonathan, and both kids seem to enjoy playing with one another. We rode the carousel andthe train, played on the playground, and Maylee even rode a pony; Jackie and I had to laugh...we were at the zoo for almost an hour and a half before we saw any animals :) The kids had a wonderful time, and it was nice to have a day with Porter (Craig and Bowman stayed home.) The weather was perfect...time to get a little color on my skin!!
Maylee headed down the slide first with Porter right behind!
Grammy with the kids, riding in the caboose!!
I tried all day to get a cute picture of the kids together, but one of them always seemed to move as soon as the flash went off. I did get a few from behind though. The aquarium was, as usual, a HUGE hit. They both loved looking at all the fish, and were excited to discover a scuba diver in one of the large tanks. Another exciting discovery...Nemo (and his daddy!)
On Sunday, we all went out to Chapin for lunch. Again, it was a beautiful day, so Pop-Pop loaded us all up (minus Grammy and Bowman, who again stayed behind) and we went for a nice ride on the boat. Maylee and Porter both love being on the boat; in fact, Porter kept begging Pop-Pop to "go faster!!" The water is still entirely too cold to swim, but the nice breeze on the water made for a perfect afternoon.

Lots of turtles sunning on the logs!!

Porter loves driving the boat. Thankfully, there weren't too many boats out...he hasn't quite mastered a straight line. But, he sure knows how to blow the horn!!
Uncle Jonathan and Sioux
Though the water was still chilly, we took the kids to the boat ramp to "swim." Both kids enjoyed splashing in the water, and actually got pretty brave with how far they would venture out. Grammy bought each of them a tiny net, so they set out to catch some minnows. 
It was a great weekend, and Porter was exhausted!! No arguments from him on Sunday night; in fact, he actually asked us to go to bed...here's hoping for many more wonderful weekends this summer!!

Sounds like a fun-filled weekend. Craig's mom is very pretty. I'm so jealous of your boating time! Can't wait to see you and the boys in a few weeks - looks like we set for the zoo around 3'ish on Tues, May 12th!
xoxo,
