Jeff and I began our SCUBA training on Friday evening. We had an evening of classwork and then a little more on Saturday morning before we went to the pool. Saturday and Sunday we spent several hours in the pool practicing things like changing regulators underwater, trying to float mid-water, clearing a mask full of water... good stuff. By the end of Sunday, Jeff and I were both feeling pretty good about it all. Next weekend we have two days out in Puget Sound at Mukilteo and I am VERY excited about that. A little scared too, but totally excited. I don't really know what to expect, but the instructor assures me I won't be cold underwater. I'm not buying it, but I'll find out soon.
The kids spent Friday evening with Mark, Jenn and Collie Collie. Saturday, while Jeff and I were in the pool, Mom took the kids to the beach at Edmonds where they were lucky enough to hit the low tide and they found starfish, jelly fish, crab, sea anemonies (which squirted water at Cammy!) and other little fishies and beach stuff. The kids had a really great time. They got new buckets from the toy store and also had ice cream and treats in Edmonds. Sunday morning, we went back with everyone and saw more sea life and watched a heron catching breakfast.
Sunday, Mom went home and Grandma Patty and Great-Grandma came over to watch the kids while Jeff and I finished up in the pool. The kids had a great time with them too, of course :) They had dinner on the porch and blew bubbles in the water table. God has truly blessed us with wonderful friends and a wonderful family who enjoy being with our children while we run out and play :)
