The evening of Mena's birthday she had her first swimming lesson.  Mena is taking swimming lessons with the daughters of my friends/previous co-workers from St. Mark's.  Tracy's daughter Kylinn used to come to my in-home daycare so Mena was excited to take swimming lessons with Ky.  Mena and Hadley had never met, but Hadley's mom Katy knew Mena from when we were co-teachers.

1 & 2--getting in the pool.
3--watching Ky and the other girl in their class go underwater.
4--Mena and Hadley going underwater.
5, 6, & 7--learning to hold onto the "dumb bells" and kick your feet.
8--Tracy holding Maggie while we watched.
9--learning to lay on her stomach in the water.  Mena doesn't like to put her face in the water.
10 & 11--learning to lay on her back in the water.  Mena doesn't really like to put any part of her head in the water!
12--listening to her teacher Jana.
13--jumping into the pool.

After swimming lessons Mena and Maggie went to their dad's house to celebrate Mena's birthday with him.
