swim class

after spending the summer in the lake, one of the things Ella kept asking for (instead of going to daycare) is to go to the "sea". there's a kids-oriented swimming pool a couple of minutes drive from home, so we decided to try it out. the place concentrates on swimming lessons and there's not much free swimming though.

we tried a free swim class, which Ella and aba seemed to enjoy. the problems started when our half hour was over, and it was time to get out of the pool and let the next class begin... Ella did not want to get out!
it took a lot of explaining that it is no longer our turn, and now it's someone else's turn, and that we would come back some other time. when we finally managed to change out of swim suit she found the toy corner and didn't want to go back to the car... playing guitar and singing the ABC's was quite fun though. :)
