The Club days are ending soon

This tree has an 8 foot diameter and it fell down in a wind storm this spring.
Elli started the afternoon going down the slide with Jenna, then with me, then we had to walk her up and she would go down, then we didn't have to even walk her up the stairs, and by the end of the night, she was going up and coming down without anyone even in the water. She told us Sunday evening she was going to go down the slide and sure enough, she did!

More shots of her flying off the end of the slide. She did this over and over again.
Before she had the courage to go in the water alone, we took turns catching her. Look at her blowing the air out of her nose and mouth already. She really has learned well.
And here she is all by herself getting ready for the climb. What an adventure. We did go down that really curvy slide once. She told me at the top, "I am not sure about this but I will do it anyway mommy." We went really fast!!!!

Wow - that IS a scary slide!!! So proud of Elli - adorable with her little face preparing to go under water. By the way, LOVE her outfit by the tree...does she want to wear that to one of my showers (with those adorable shoes)?
