For Easter this year we stayed in the Ville. Jamie could only get Sunday and Monday off work and Brooklyn had school on Monday, so we didn't want to do the drive back and forth in one day. We missed seeing all our Indy family!!
Since we weren't going to Indy I was bummed, but as the weekend went by and people realized we would be in town, we were able to do some unexpected fun stuff!
The Shockleys invited us over to their house Saturday morning before Jamie went to work, for an egg hunt. Their families were in town and welcomed us like their own. Beck and Mason got to hunt for eggs together and loved it! Beck didn't care too much about gathering the most, he cared more about what was inside. He'd have opened the first one and played with whatever was inside that the rest of the time if we hadn't pushed him along.
Since their family was in from out of town, they stayed in a hotel down the street and invited us to swim. Jamie went off to work but Beck, Liv, and I went to the hotel. Liv napped in the room, but Beck and I swam for the first time since last summer. I was anxious to see how he liked the water! He loved it! He wore a life jacket and was very eager to jump off the side into the water, whether I was ready or caught him, but he wasn't so eager to have me let go of him while he was floating in the water. After swimming for a bit we had lunch and then went to Mimi's to take naps.
The Shockleys invited us back to the hotel for dinner and more swimming. We had fun hanging out with the family on the hotel patio, playing cornhole, blowing bubbles, and eating pizza. After dinner, we swam again and Beck was like a different kid in the pool. If I tried to hold on to him in the water he'd say "no momma". And that was it. He was swimming on his own. Still obsessed with jumping off the side over and over and over. Of course he had some floating CARS bath toys that he would throw and chase after. He can't go anywhere without playing with Cars. So we'll definitely be buying some of those for the pool this summer!When Daddy got off work he stopped by for a quick swim to see how his big boy was swimming. He was amazed- as amazed as he gets at least! Ha! And I can't wait to see how he progresses throughout the summer. A little nervous too as he didn't seem afraid of anything!
On Sunday we went to church, then to Grandma Janet and Papaw Scott's for lunch and another egg hunt.
