Swimming Fun!

Phew! It was quite a whirlwind, the end of May. End of preschool, visitors, birthday...now it's time to relax. Before Cora was done with school, Mom took me to the pool a few times so I could get accustomed to the water. I've been doing really well in the water so far. I've stuck my face into the water, gotten so deep almost to my chin, and once Cora finally came to the pool with me, she got me to go on the sprayground. Man, I wish I hadn't been so afraid of it because it is lots of fun! I'm so proud of myself, I even suggested to Mom that I need swimming lessons! Plus, because I'm now willing to go into the spaces, I finally got my own pair of goggles!! We also took time to go back to the dump where we climbed the hill not once but twice! From the top we flew kites, waved to Dad and screamed at the top of our lungs!

A few days later, Mimi and Papa came to visit. Before we picked them up at the airport, we got to visit the observation deck and see lots of planes take off and land. Because it was later in the afternoon we weren't able to do much more than take a walk to the park after dinner. The next day though, we visited a really cool place at UNC Chapel Hill called a planetarium. It was so cool! Inside the dome theater we watched a movie about Earth Sun and Moon where it seemed like we were looking at the night sky! Just like the stars and planets hanging on my ceiling! After experiencing the planetarium we walked over to the art museum on campus where they had an exhibit of large human size spinning tops. Cora and I took a few spins (Mimi and Papa said they would get too sick) before heading down the street for lunch. On the way we were able to cool off in a plaza where there was a mister coming from a piece of art. We headed home after that and spent the rest of the day doing indoor activities because it was a HOT day! The last day, we hung out at home and played lots of board games and enjoyed spending time with Mimi and Papa. I love visits with them, especially when Papa lifts me up and twists me in the air like a jet plane!
