While Grandpa and Grand'ne Ramirez visited this weekend, we decided to take Maddie swimming for the first time. A Mommy friend of mine had recommended a local wading pool called Little Stacy Pool. It's only 2 feet at it's deepest and is well shaded by Oak trees. It's perfect for babies. We went on a Friday afternoon so there were only a few people there.
Maddie LOVED swimming. We took her floating fish toys and she had a blast. She splashed and kicked and watched other kids playing too. Overall, it was a big success for her first time.
I'm sure we'll visit again soon.
