First Swimming Outing

Today Gregory and I went to our first swimming outing while Tom was at work. Our friends and youth pastor, Scott & Ruth, are having a house built in a fairly new subdivision. One of the amenities they get to use already is a swimming pool. So they invited us and our friends Rachel and her little girl Emma. It was thunder shortly before we left to meet them at the pool, but it was in the opposite direction. The weather here is kind of funny with the mountains so close, it's hard to tell which direction the weather is moving...anyways we ventured out and into the pool. At first Gregory was pretty scared to be in such a big body of water I think. The water was really warm, which was awesome. I think I heard a little giggle once, so he wasn't completely scared, but then he got splashed in the face accidentally and that didn't make him happy one bit. Soon afterwards the lightning and thunder started up again, so we all jumped out of the pool and huddled around the warm fireplace that was by the pool. It was a short outing but we look forward to having fun with our friends again soon. Sorry there are no pictures...we were all in the pool and I didn't think to take any pictures before or after :-(

Awe, I am so glad that Gregory got to go swimming. We started taking Benjamin in the pool at 2 months and he loves it! There is a mommy and me class on base once a week and we go to that and he has a blast!
