Kaia still loves swimming! I really think she could stay at the pool all day, every day. She likes to take short breaks to sit on her chair and eat a snack, but then she's right back in the pool. She likes to crawl in the shallow end like an alligator, moving her arms saying, "look mom, I'm swimming." I think she'll be a great swimmer in no time.
Since it was too cold this 4th of July to go swimming, we went to the zoo instead. It was a great day - not too hot! A lot of the animals were out and we went and saw the bird show, which Kaia thought was pretty cool. She loves the baby elephant and after she pointed out the mommy, she asked, "where's the daddy?" How do parents answer these tough questions?
We started out the weekend of July 4th with the Kaysville 10K. My sister Becca and I ran it while Chris, Caden and Kaia saved a spot at the parade. It was Becca's first 10K and she did awesome, finishing in just over an hour! Kaia thought the race was pretty cool and insisted on running through the finish line like all the other runners. I think we might have a mother/daughter running team pretty soon!
Go Becca!
The parade was a lot of fun. Tons of candy for the kids and the weather was PERFECT! It was the first 4th of July I remember that wasn't blazing hot! It actually made our outdoor BBQ's a bit too chilly and swimming was definitely out. But it was a great holiday weekend.
