My Grandchildren have turned into fish this summer. Emma can jump off the diving board and swim all the way to the steps. It seems like only yesterday that her Daddy was doing the same thing. Abby can swim under water with a special grace that Pop mentions every time he watches her swim. John Brady has found his sport. He can swim under water and is very close to diving.
Thursday Emma and Abby learned to snorkel. Pop was beaming with pride. He began talking about how he had somebody to snorkel with him so he guessed we needed to go somewhere that had beautiful fish to look at. I am claustrophobic and have yet to even try to snorkel. Hope I get invited on this trip!
Pop also wants to go buy the girls their own snorkel. He was one proud Pop. You may notice that I didn't mention Abby diving. Every time Abby tried to dive she did a belly buster. We laughed as she told Emma that the water would hit your stomach hard if you didn't dive right. As usual with our Abby...she didn't care if she couldn't quite get the dive yet...she just jumped in with a flourish and a big dimpled smile and knew everyone would look!
The girls used Pop's snorkel but his fins were too big. Abby informed Pop that she needed some of those big shoes..aka fins..to fit her.
