Owen's Swimming Lessons

Owen has been taking swimming lessons for about a month this summer. These last two weeks in his newest class, he's shown a lot of improvement.


He's always willing to get into the water and he goes under without any problem but now he's also trying harder to get the concept of using your legs to propel yourself through the water.

His next stop, the English channel.

Museum fun

The natural science museum, here in Jackson, has a special exhibit that just recently opened called, "The Monsters of the Deep". We took the kids to see it and Owen had a great time. They have normal sea life on display in an elaborate setup. They also have "sea monsters" like a model of the giant squid, sharks and some sea faring dinosaurs that I can't remember but I'm sure Owen could tell me what they were. They also have hands on things for kids to do on top of their normal massive room of aquariums and a mock up of swamp lands which contain Owen's favorite creature, the Alligator.

They also have a couple of nature trails that the kids like to walk and explore.

Finally, Owen and Elizabeth put a massive floor puzzle together. Teamwork...teamwork!
