Swim Lessons


 My kids love the water. They have no fear of it what so ever which is why they will take regular swim lessons every summer until they are very proficient swimmers. This was Isak's 3rd year of lessons and Lucy's first year.  I just had them go to our local pool where I was pleasantly surprised with the class sizes this year. Both their classes had 5 kids or less. Lucy's class was just an introductory class to the water where they played fetch for rings a lot. Since Lucy doesn't er listen very well or follow directions very well, this was a great class for her.
 Isak was in learn to swim 2 and actually learned to float and do some kicking/arm strokes. He can swim really well with his life jacket in the pool but I need to work with him some more so he can have it off eventually.  Somehow they both passed, not sure how that happened, and their last day of lessons was free swim. They really loved that and Isak swam all over with his life jacket on in the lazy river.
A few weeks ago Isak and Lucy were out playing in the bouncy pool and Isak asked me for the dish soap. Not thinking, I found this about 20 minutes later and an empty container of dish soap. They had LOTS of bubbles and the slide was very, very slippery!
 I think bubbles might be my kids very favorite thing ever .
And this is Edyn sporting her baby Nike's that are soon going to be too small. Baby shoes are so impractical. And so very cute. Which is why I never spend more than a $1 for a pair. Look at how much she loves them!
