We spent 9 days in Port St. Lucie Florida visiting Aunt Cheri while Dad had some business to attend to. Daniel absolutely loved the swimming pool! We went out and bought Daniel some "swimmies, a life jacket and other floating aids but he would have none of it! He just wanted to jump, dive, swim and give both mom and dad a heart attack... and he succeeded! Although Daniel doesn't float very well but that doesn't stop him; he can swim underwater for about 15 feet before he pulls himself up on to the noodle that we place in front of him! Keep in mind that Daniel was 26 months old when these pictures were taken! I've already got him signed up for the Kazakhstan Olympic Dive and Swim Team for the 2024 games!
Daniel also went to the Zoo and a couple of local minor league baseball games this summer. At the end of August, we were lucky enough to be able to sit in the Key Bank luxury suite to watch the last game of the season. It was wonderful in that Daniel could run around and play with his cousin and do whatever he wanted to do. His jaw dropped to the ground when Sothpaw (the teams mascot) knocked on the door for a private visit! He loves Southpaw (BUT Dad forgot his camera)!
