Water baby

Allie went swimming for the first time on Saturday. She loved it! We took a short family trip to Milwaukee last weekend because I had a furlough and Doug took a day off. Our main attraction was the Discovery World Museum, but the close second was the swimming excursion. My favorite part is her little swim suit.


Allie wasn't scared of the pool at all. I think Doug and I were more scared than Allie was. We kept it short and sweet and she wasn't ready to get out.

It was a water-themed trip. The museum has a technology section and an aquarium/water section. We went through the aquarium first, where Allie was fascinated with the fish.

Another cool thing the museum has is a replica ship on the second floor. Its a replica of ships that used to sail the great lakes back in the day. There are also exhibits about the great lakes. Allie didn't really care about those, but she liked the boat.

We were at the museum three hours and it was enough for Allie. She got tired and we headed out to our hotel where Allie had lots of fun crawling around and *not* sleeping even though she'd been pretty cranky just an hour before!

It was a great trip and we look forward to many more special family memories!
