We celebrated Chloe's birthday today at the lake (her request--it's where she wanted her party to be this year!). We swam for 2 hours! Dennis tried out his new Aqua Jogger Jr. swim belt. He's able to swim with the techniques he learned in swim class because his arms move freely. His Puddle Jumper was great the past couple of years, but now that he knows how to swim, this flotation belt is just what he needs. He was the bravest of all the kids today, happily jumping in and swimming all around. It took the other 5 kids that got in the lake an hour to stop crying and panicking and relax enough in their various flotation devices to stop screaming for their mommies. Oh, the drama!
Tonight we have with us a digital SLR camera that a friend has loaned me while I try to decide if I'd like to buy it from him. I've always wanted one, and my lenses from my old film SLR camera work with this digital one. What I didn't expect was how much interest Dennis would have. He's already learned to work it. He loves photography and he's really got skill for his age. I might take him on a nature photography expedition just to see what he shoots! I can't believe he can work a camera this large, but he is completely adept. I predict more odd job seeking in the near future. It's a nice camera and much much less expensive than a new one would be!
