Learning to swim

We had planned to see the fireworks in town.
As things go here, we have to learn that in Georgia...
the plan is to not have one
to go with the f l o w

I have never known how much of a New Yorker I was until I was here
so I am learning the ways of the south
and s l o w d o w n

So we went with the flow and had a blast on a quiet fourth of July.
Spent with family, good food, new friends and a birthday in between.
The day was spent pool side and watched as my kids shed their city feet and grow fins.
The night was lit up with front step fireworks and laughter.

The king learned to swim in one day and conquered his fear.

But it will take a bit longer for me to learn to slow it down although I have no fear.

So proud of this kid...like I have said before...he is the bravest person I know.

Thanks again to the "drill sergeant" for  being an awesome teacher!

"so how does it feel to swim for the first time?"

" I feel free"... (insert mile wide smile)

This is one of the many firsts for this family.

Here is the link to the king swimming.

Have you learned to do something in one day?
Have you conquered any fear?
