Aquatic Center

Isak has been taking swim lessons the past two weeks at our local pool. I've been a little skeptical about how much he has learned as there were 7 kids in his class and one teacher and many times it appeared that Isak did as he pleased. But apparently he passed and got a tootsie roll and can go on to the next level. I think we will wait till next summer when he's a little taller as he was the shortest and one of the youngest in his class.
Right after he finished with his swim lessons, we went and spent the day with my family at the aquatic center. This pool is huge compared to ours and has way more things that my kids can do so they were in heaven.
We had about 5 adults for 6 kids so we were pretty well covered. I was even able to race the water slides with Kevin and Valerie.
The kids loved the body boarding feature they have in the simulated wave pool. All of them tried it out, even Isak, although some were better at holding on than others.

Isak stayed on for about 2 seconds, but apparently, being swept up and wiping out didn't scare him at all and he asked to do it again.

Poor little Caleb about lost his swimsuit on it, good thing he's too little to be embarrassed by it!
Isak's favorite feature by far was the lazy river (and Lucy's too) and he went around countless times. While Lucy was quite happy to just sit in our laps and be carried around and around, Isak was insistent that he have his own tube, although he had to stand on his tippy toes.
