Swimming Lessons.

An Essential part of summer right? Yes Indeedy. I wish we lived someplace that was so warm, we had a swimming pool in our backyard, and went swimming every day.

THere is something ‘magical’ about your kids hair smelling like chlorine (which only usually happens in the summer months around here)…that smell is pure bliss to me! If you’re hair smells like that, it means it’s been a good few days full of splashing, giggling, and fun at a pool.

We had a blast at swimming lessons this year, we decided to go to a local pool, about 4 minutes up the street from our home. Unfortunately, I didn’t take many pictures of the kids in swimming lessons. I meant to do it on the last day of each session (we did two), but I forgot my camera!

I did get a little video:
Tucker:

and short one of Truman:

(I meant to get more video of Truman, including him jumping off the diving board, he has no fear like Tuck, but every time, I was taking care of Elliot or Lorelei when it was his groups turn! DRAT! Oh well, there’s always Next year.)

And a few pictures of us spectators:



It has been fun to watch them swim this year, they totally are improving!
Truman is an EXCELLENT swimmer. He got bumped up to the same swimming level as Tucker, and is like a little fish. He enjoys it so well, and is excellent at listening to his teacher, and taking their instruction.
And Tucker still has no fear, especially of swimming. He really enjoys being in the water, splashing and bobbing on the side of the pool during lessons.
Thank you Heavenly Father for giving us the recreation of swimming. It is a happy thing indeed.
