Skylar had her first swim lesson at a new facility. Her physical therapist really wants her to swim regularly to help build up her leg muscles. Her friend A is in the class too so Skylar was super excited.
She did a great job, had a lot of fun and it didn't appear to hurt her legs much.
After class, we ran home for a quick bite of lunch before heading out on our next adventure - geocaching.
The Juniors earned this badge today. We met up with a woman who runs a geocaching club for kids. I had sent her the requirements for the badge and she developed the day for us.
First, we learned about the sport, how it got started, where in the world you can go and the rules. Then, the kids started finding the caches (as they are called).
They found a total of 5 different caches - one was a bird (plastic pretend one), one was a purple mini (there are even nano's), 2 were in boxes and the final one was an old peanut butter jar. We left a trackable inside that one. A trackable is a card that you can leave and it has a destination. A person picks it up and takes it to another cache until it makes it to its final destination. Sometimes they go all over the world. Ours just wants to see Colorado and then make it back to Girl Scout Council.
We hiked around for almost 2 hours - Skylar's legs were a mess when we were finished. I thought I might have to carry her some of the way but she pushed on and made it back. As soon as we got in the car, I gave her an Advil. Andrew fell asleep almost immediately when we got in the car.
We made it home just in time for everyone to go to their rooms for quiet time and a Girl Scout leader showed up to turn in her fall sale reports.
