Lindsey earned her black band!

We love spending time at the Y pool! Brian had the day off today so we decided to spend part of our afternoon there. In order to swim, unassisted, in the deep end you need to take a swim test. Last year Lindsey was too nervous to try and today she just went right up to the life guard and asked for the "yellow band test". To get a yellow band means you get to be in the 4-5ft. area without an adult. She did a great job. Brian found out that she wanted the yellow band (even though the life guard said she could easily get the black band which gives unassisted access to the whole pool) because the yellow band is more colorful. Oh my....such a little female. Well.....five minutes after she received her yellow band she went to the life guard again and asked to be tested for the black band. Fortunately the life guard was very nice and saw the humor in our little female - so he let her swim the whole length of the pool and she was able to get a black band. Yeah!!

Of course we spend lots of time at our neighborhood pool, but we do make a few trips to the outdoor Y pool in the summer. Lindsey now can't wait to go on the big slide this summer with her brother Austin.
