Swim Test Conquered

We have had Kallie enrolled in swim lessons since parent/tot classes when she was under a year old. She has always loved the water and as parents we have always thought it was critical she learns to swim at young age. Well today it payed off . . . Kallie passed her swim test! As you can see be the smile on her face she was so proud! Great work baby girl, your hard work has paid off – we are so proud of you!



Spring Break 2017 – San Diego

We had a great trip to San Diego for Kallie’s first Spring Break! I was a bit nervous about the weather leading up to the trip but it was perfect, low 70s and sunny every day. Our hotel The Catamaran was in a perfect location on Mission Beach. . .right across the street from the boardwalk and access to the beach.

We went on three bigger adventures; SeaWorld, The San Diego Zoo and LegoLand. We had fun at all three but I think SeaWorld was our favorite because we got to see a few shows, enjoy the rides and lots of opportunities to touch sea-life. The zoo was amazing too but HUGE! A few highlights were the polar bears, panda and the cheetah/Labrador dog hanging out b/c they are best friends. LegoLand was just ok – long lines for smaller rides but fun to explore.

We spent the rest of our time swimming at the pool, watching movies on the beach, visiting the Sea Lions in La Jolla and more swimming. All and all it was a great easy get-away for our family. So nice to disconnect and just spend time together. I am already looking forward to our next Bates

Thanks
