Oma's Visit and Day One of Swim Ranch

My mom came to visit for a few weeks and we enjoyed having her here.  We stayed busy during the entire time.  Hannah enjoyed having somebody else to play with and I loved being able to just run a few errands without her.  I could get used to that!
I have over 300 pictures to go through from the last few weeks, so it could take a while.  We completed Swim Ranch, went to the Botanical Garden, went swimming at the pool, took the boat out several times, rode the train in Eureka Springs, went to the Wildlife Safari and Scott and I went to Vegas for a weekend.

This was our second year to go to the Swim Ranch.  We go to swim class every day for one week.  Hannah did great on the first day and then she hated the second and third day and by the fourth day she loved it again.  You just never know what you are going to get with a two year old!  Hannah loves to be around water and is very comfortable in it.  The most important thing we learn at the Swim Ranch is to hang on at the edge of the pool and to climb out.

Hannah finally let me put her hair into a ponytail again for swim class (only for one day, but still)

This was Hannah last year at the Swim Ranch

Back to this year......

Every swimmer deserves some playtime

First day completed

This day was a little overcast, so we took the opportunity to visit the Botanical Garden of the Ozarks after Swim Ranch.  It is a beautiful place.

They have lots of events for kids and adults at the Botanical Garden.  I will have to keep that in mind for some fun things to do.
