Swim Lessons

Caleb took his first swim lesson last week. My friend Jenny recommended the teacher and her son also was in Caleb's class. It was 5 days in a row for 30 minute sessions. It was very convenient for us since it was in Ft. Oglethorpe. Caleb did great except for wanting to put his face in the water. He was determined not to do that. The teacher just told me he will do it when he's ready that she doesn't force them to do it. She did dunk his head a few times to try to get him use to it. He never cried about it but if you asked him to do it he said "I'm not going to do that". The teacher said he will be a leader one day! Ha

Pigeon Forge Family Vacation

The 3 of us took a family trip to Pigeon Forge, TN over Memorial Day weekend. It was a nice time to get away and have fun. Caleb got pretty much whatever he wanted...he rode lots of rides and got several new toys. Just about all there is to do there...shop, eat, and the rides. We did get to swim at the condo since it was 95 degrees each day. If I were not 7 months pregnant (feel 9 mo. preg. ) we could have done more like hike in the mountains at least. We all had a good time anyway!
The very first thing Caleb bought was a Dumbo. He loves the movie and we took him to the Disney store and when I showed him the Dumbo...he gasped and held onto him for 2 days. He took him on the rides with him even!! He eventually let go of him after he got a few other new things but even now at home he still takes him places and sleeps with him. He told me Dumbo is his best friend and that Dumbo loves him. So cute!

Of course one of his favorite rides was the train

We rode this after his nap one day and he had a hard time waking up...that is the reason for the sad look on his face.

Even Dumbo got a swing

A baby Ferris Wheel

We found another park that had more rides that were better for his age. These swings went faster so he liked it.

He loved this ride. I think it was his favorite. It went in a circle but around the corners the cars went faster. Even the adults I watched ride liked this one!

Going down the big slide...Jim looks a little scared! haha It does go really fast.

Sleeping on his inflatable bed in our bedroom. He did good and stayed on it all night.

We had promised him one ride after lunch so we kept our word. We normally would tell him no rides till after supper so we could wait till the sun was going down. It was just too hot during the day. So I took these from the air conditioned car!

We ate at a nice steakhouse one night. It was good but way too expensive for our taste.
