Sophie recently started swim lessons. She goes to the local YMCA on Saturday mornings. At the first lesson she was a little nervous and hung on to Dave, but since then she’s been a little fish. She really loves being in the water and kicks and splashes around.

This past weekend we did a regatta from Avalon to Cape May. Kathy and the Daves did the actual sailing, while Sophie and I did more of the lounging and taking in the sights. All in all, everyone had a great time.

Very proud of herself.
