Swimming Lessons

Each summer my kids take swimming lessons from the time they turn 3 until...well, we haven't gotten old enough for that yet. They LOVE it!! On the last day of the two weeks they take the kids to do the BIG SLIDE and the DIVING BOARD. It is always a fun bonus for the kids.
Dallin wouldn't go down the slide but did jump off the diving board multipule times this year.:) He also got to where he could swim the entire way across the little pool at Heise ALL BY HIMSELF. He is pretty proud that he taught himself to do a somersault under the water. He is quite the little fish. Oakley did go down the slide, but every picture I took of it ended up just being feet sticking out of the water.:) She is a good swimmer and her teacher took her over to the deep pool everyday to work on her swimming skills!! She had a great teacher and learned SO much.

Rhett FINALLY on the last day of lessons actually went all the way under the water!! Yeah! He is getting there. He is a pro at chicken - airplane - soldier too! He braved the slide one time and jumped off the diving board quite a few times...as long as his teacher was there to catch him that is!
They all did great and learned so much! Swimming lessons is one of our favorite parts of summer and we are a little sad that it is over.

Go Rhett! He is becoming such a brave little thing!
Doc misses all the kids so much. He keeps looking at me like, "Mom, where did all the kids go?"
Love the pictures! So fun!!!
