Swimming & some other awesomeness

Oh by the way, we are going to Mexico, AGAIN! 

Could we be more lucky?? 

The answer is NO.

 One thing I can say is that the anticipation

for a trip like this brings out the planners in

both John & I.

John obsesses over the resort we will be 

staying at, the current temperature in Cabo,

the local area & distance to all things fun.

I obsess over making sure flip-flops fit, last

years summer clothes will work, getting 

through a plane ride with a 2 year old (I may

or may not of purchased some "sleepy juice"

to help her relax on the plane), getting together

headphones & splitters to share our tablet on 

the plane, practice using said items, and a million

other things I'm not thinking of right now.

One other thing I got Norah was a new life jacket.

It's a little different so I wasn't sure she would 

take to it right away and figured we better give

it a good test run before the big trip.

So Monday I took the girls swimming, 

with my Mom's help. 

 Norah was SOOOO EXCITED!!!

 Ava was regular excited.

 But Norah was beside herself, she could

barely stand just the thought of it!

 This is the new life jacket, super cute,

I LOVE it.  It was a little tricky but she 

caught on fast.  Every now and then it would

roll her onto her back but I taught her to just

relax & then try to flip herself over. 

By the time we left she was getting the hang

of it.  Pretty cute!  I so wish I would of taken a 

video of her happiness when she first got in the 

pool, it was so over the top!

She eventually got really hungry and tired and 

decided it was time to go get something to eat.

She swam over to Mom & Ava and said, "C'mon

kids!  Let's go, we go get a burger!"

She cracks me up.  And she ate the whole burger,

as her non-red meat eating mother cringes...

Anyhow, super excited about Mexico & glad to

have one more thing checked off my to-do list.
