When Chaz deploys we get a free family membership to the YMCA. We our very thankful for it and have taken advantage of it during both deployments. One of my favorite things to do with the kids is the gym and swim class. Andrew is in the 'perch' class and Ava is in the 'shrimp' class. It's a parent-child class where we spend 30 minutes in the gym and 30 minutes in the swimming pool. Andrew and I have been going since we got here in September, but Ava couldn't start until she turned 6 months old. Here are some pictures that we took tonight during her first class. We had a great time and we'll both sleep well tonight, for sure!
All bundled up to go to our first gym and swim class!
Who needs a pacifier when you've got two fingers to suck on?
Our first gym class. This class is for kids 6 months to walking and Ava is the youngest in our class.

Nannie came with us tonight to take pictures for Daddy. She was a big help!
Our little peanut in her ballerina bathing suit... getting ready to go swimming for the first time!
Ava's first time in the water... she LOVED it! She had so much fun kicking and splashing!
Patiently waiting for the teacher to tell us what we're doing next ...

Swimming is over and Ava is exhausted!
So cute! Love the swimsuit. And thanks for the reminder to get the Izzy signed up for gym, she is finally old enough. Looks like you are all doing well, take care.
