Today was the first day of swimming lessons for both of the boys. I scheduled at the Dynamo swim center since we have a difficult coordinating them any other way. I am so relieved that Nathan is finally learning to swim and to not be afraid of the water. Grayson, on the other hand, has no fear whatsoever. It can be trying at times because the child will just jump in without a care in the world. They had a blast in New Orleans: they got to go on a boat ride with Auntie Elizabeth (and daddy, Uncle Corey, Mel, and Uncle Kyle). They got to swim in Lake Pontchartrain amongst the algae and fun stuff. They had a blast! Grayson with his go, go, go attitude kept yelling for Elizabeth to "Go FASTER!" Again, no fear. Aunt Sandy and Uncle Leni had a pool that they could not wait to swim in. Each time Nathan got in the pool he became more confident. So happy to see that. I wondered why Grayson kept licking the water...come to find out from Ronny that the water is salt water rather than chlorine. No wonder!
On another note, as we were driving home yesterday we noticed that there was a space center in Mississippi. Interesting. I never heard of it before so I went online to check it out: the Stennis Space Center. Apparently they are getting ready to put a Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) up into space. They are offering for people to have their name go into space with the orbiter. I put all of our names on their list. You should do it too...though you can only sign up until June 28th of this year, so hurry! Go here to sign up.

Auntie Elizabeth had a blast taking those boys in the algae invested waters of Lake Maurepas! A few germs never hurt anyone! Grayson had a great time ramming his motorboat (blow up raft) into daddy, but he surely did not like keeping Nathan's clams in the motorboat! Nathan warmed up to the environment once we settled in where he could stand up. After that, he was a CHAMP beating Uncle Corey in a clam throwing contest!
