Swimming Lessons

Last week our agenda included swimming lessons!

This was Cameron's 2nd year and Haiden's first.  We were able to have it at the same pool and with the same friends as last summer.  This year the mommy's got to spend some time chatting in the shade--well, kind of.  Keep reading!!

Cameron, Trey and Jackson had a great teacher, Mr. Mitch.  By the end of the 4 days, Cameron was right back at it jumping off the diving board and swimming across the pool.  He even got some good practice at actual strokes.

Always practiced with the kickboards first.

 

The big kids!

 Good pose!

This actually was a pretty good dive! Yay..he WAS listening ;)

And then there were the little ones.  The first 2 days the moms were trying to decide how we should handle the crying kids in the pool and if any neighbors were home!  WOW!  At any given moment 1 or all 3 were crying as we sat just outside the gate trying to figure out how to rescue Miss Kim!   They would do(rather tense and apprehensive) what was asked, but oh dear.  Miss Kim should have told us the price at the END of the week!

But some reassurance, a great instructor, a slushee and out to dinner bribes Haiden turned the corner and did really well!

Blowing bubbles!

Swimming beauties!  Brendan is missing...it must have been his turn! And, yes, these pictures are from the last day..ha!

Yay, Haiden!  Does he look so big doing this or is it me?!

 And yay for a great time with friends!

Jill and Jodi~ I think we might have another summer tradition!
