July 4th Water Park Fun

We had a great July 4th (Independence Day) holiday. Unfortunately, Daddy had to work, so it was a Zander and Mommy day. We had breakfast at home and nap time and then we went to the water park for the first time this year. What a difference a year makes. Last year, if Zander fell down on his bottom in the pool, his head was completely underwater. This year, most of the time he could get up by himself. After we had been there for about 45 minutes, he asked to put on his swim vest. That was much easier. He could float on his back and swim with out help from Mom.
Since it was a holiday, they were giving away prizes every 15 minutes. We didn't win anything. We had a great time. I think that the swimming lessons at the YMCA helped Zander to not be as scared of the water. He should do fine at the beach next week.

Croc Expedition

Crocs? What is the big deal? They really are not cute shoes and they don't look good on anyone. On Sunday, Mom, Zander and I went on a Croc Expedition for the beach. We were searching for the Cleo style that looks more like a sandal. Poor mom, she has been already and they didn't have her size. Today they did! When we got to another store and were going to put on our Crocs, we realized that hers had a tear and they had mixed 2 sizes. They were not going to fit after all. They would have to be returned. I hope that she has better luck today finding a pair. I looked at the website today http://www.crocs.com and they have alot of different styles.

Zander wanted a pair too. They did not have his size at the store we were at. We went to several other stores and finally settled for a pair of Aqua Ducks. He doesn't know the difference and thinks they are Crocs. He loves them. I haven't seen him this excited about anything in a long time.

I have mine on today and so far, they feel really good. I will see around lunch time if my knees and back hurt, so far, so good. We are all looking forward to the beach next week. Now I just have to find time around the remodeling of the house to pack!
