Beach Trip 2011 - Round 2

One of the highlights of the beach trip was swimming. Lainie has always been very fearful of swimming pools, and has never actually gotten in the deep section of one with or without floaties to swim. She has been terrified of any deep water. Our neighborhood pool has zero level entry, so she has always stayed in the very shallow water and just played with her toys there.

The night we got to the condo, my mom decided to take all of the grandkids swimming. On the way to the pool, Lainie said she just wanted to sit with Gramma and relax. I honestly did not think she would even entertain the thought of getting in the pool. However, she completely surprised me! Gramma put floaties on Lainie, and she eventually decided she would try it. She LOVED it and only wanted to swim in the pool from then on. Emmie was a champ swimmer as well! She put those floaties on and never looked back. So fun!
