Summer #1

Nothing starts summer off quicker than two weeks of swimming lessons.

The first week of summer we decided to do lessons so they would be out of the way for any other things that came up during the summer. Unfortunately, not much else has come up! Although the kids suffered through some chilly weather we made it to the end without any rain outs! Yea!

Going down the slide!

She got pretty good at all of her strokes this year. She learned the crawl stroke, back stroke, breast stroke and elementary back stroke. She still needs a few more years of lessons to get really good.

Carter, cute as ever.

Jumping off of the diving board. Carter got pretty good this year during her lessons. I am grateful that none of my kids are scared of the water. They have all loved the pool from an early age. Carter is probably the most at home in the water.

This was Cal's first year of swimming lessons. He already loved the water when he started so it wasn't to much of an adjustment. He learned some fun songs to sing and he loved his teacher. She loved him too. Almost everyday when he got out of the pool she would head over to the other teachers and say how much she loved Cal and how he was the most favorite student she had ever had. He is a charmer!
