my girls and summer fun

    For the month of August, we signed our girls up for swimming lessons. For me, I just wanted them to be comfortable in the water and learn the basic skills so they wouldn't be afraid.  My oldest did a lot better than I expected. She can now float on her back, put her head underwater, and knows the basic strokes. The little one prefers to stay on the steps and will now go down to her chin in the water, but refuses to put her head under to blow bubble. hahaha. She's hilarious. Next year we'll start them earlier in the summer, they do miss going to swimming lessons and playing in the water.

   If you look closely, you'll see the little one down below in pink holding a hula-hoop with her coach. Both my girls have been in gymnastics and loving every minute. We'll see how far they go with this class. So far so good!
