The Palmers: Sully and Ansley's fun hiking adventure!

Hello! We have had an eventful month of June! I have been coaching my summer league team this month and doing some swim lessons, so life around the Palmer household has been much busier! We have also had a lot of fun visitors this month---Auntie Sara came in for a long 4 day adventure, Carl and Kathy were in for a visit, and Auntie Kelli came in this past weekend for a fun weekend! What a fun month for Sully and Ansley!

Sully is swimming! :)

This weekend was a particularly big weekend because Sully finally started swimming all by himself! We have been working so hard and he has finally started swimming! He jumps in the water all by himself and floats his way up to the surface, he dives down for pennies on the bottom, he can float on his back, and now he can stand on the bottom step and push off with his face in and paddle to us! He is SO proud of himself and loves our reaction when he comes up for air! We are not swimming across the pool yet, but we hope that will come by the end of the summer! We are down at the pool almost daily now, so I will keep practicing with him! After all of my hard work, I finally have a little swimmer! Maybe next summer he can join my swim team! Wouldn't that be hilarious to see him in a little swim cap and goggles!

Today Brett, Kelli, and I took Sully and Ansley to Amicalola Falls State Park in North Georgia. It was the perfect morning. We hiked a 1 mile path up to the top and then walked down another 1 mile path on the other side of the falls to get back down. Sully was a very good hiker. He did most of it by himself, but when we came to the 625 stairs to the top, he had a little piggy back ride from Kelli. Ansley was in the baby bjorn the whole time, so she had an easy ride! It was a fun hike and Sully thought the waterfall was pretty cool. We snapped some fun pictures from our adventures...enjoy!
