Riley Learns to Swim

Today Riley had his very first swimming lesson. He said, "I learned to kick, and stroke, and breathe under water!" He actually was swimming a short distance by the end of the lesson. He was very pleased with himself. Way to go Riley!

A beginning....

It's a rainy day in Georgia--South Georgia that is. I feel it is time to begin our first blog. We have been to church, were blessed by the sermon and singing, had a good lunch, and everyone is taking a nap -- except me. What a great Sunday!


Our grandson, Riley, is visiting us for a week in Cairo. We picked him up in Cordele and on the way home, made a visit to the Chehaw Zoo. I asked him if he knew what a zoo was. He wasn't quite sure. We saw some cool animals including monkeys, zebras, bison, and a depressed rhino. There were even some cheetas pacing around. As we drove away, Riley quietly said, "Now I know what a zoo is!"
Riley went with Poppy to eat breakfast. He ate two breakfasts! Following that, he was so well behaved at church that everyone was amazed. He said they had a race at Sunday School to see who could pick up the most marbles with their toes from a bucket of water. I think that related to the lesson somehow! Vacation Bible School starts at 3:00 and swimming lessons start tomorrow afternoon, so he will be properly entertained. In the meantime, he has been a sweet little fellow -- a great little 5 year old. We are blessed!
