Emily took her first swim on Saturday. Emily, Grandma and I went up to the Hotel Savery while Nate and Grandpa enjoyed behind the scenes access at the Iowa Speedway Indy Corn 250. Nate received a weekend getaway at work which included tickets to the Iowa Speedway as well as two rooms at the hotel. We decided to take advantage and headed to the pool. We had just started swimming when in walked 10 people wearing Australia swimsuits. They were of course here for the Hy-Vee Triathlon. They seemed to be just finishing up there workout and Emily really enjoyed watching them go back and fourth between an ice bath and the hot tub. Yes, she enjoyed the water too. The athletes were all very nice to Emily. I guess we will always remember Emily's first swim. Who knows maybe we will see her new friends again at the Olympics!
Nate and I will use this blog to share information about our family. We welcomed Emily Claire into our family on September 4, 2007 and Blake Henry on February 25, 2010 and we couldn't be happier!
