I was so excited when Grandma told us that the kids would be able to take swim lessons while we were there. Every weekday morning for two weeks.
Kylee got put in the wrong class, unfortunately, but she ended up learning some things and having a good time. Only three of the 10 days did she cry. She held on to the edge a lot, but was really good on her back. It was worth it. She learned a lot.
Jenna just chilled with us each day during lessons. We ended up letting her swim a couple of days and she loved it too!
In line for diving. I'll give her credit. At least she tried. She ended up doing it standing up. What shocked me though was on one of the last days of lessons, she decided, after going off the low dive a few times, that she'd try the high dive! She not only did it, but did it again to show me! I'm very proud of her!
Diving off her knees. That is her teacher with the towel around her waist. She wasn't very helpful and didn't listen to our concerns and help
Kylee like she needed it. Oh, well.
Trying off her feet. Pretty good.
Summer is so hilarious! She is not afraid at all of the water! She had so much fun in her lessons. She was showing off for me here.
She did have to be told not to splash, throw water, or drink the water. She is so crazy.
She learned to swim underwater really fast. She is crazy even when she swims. Flailing her arms and legs wildly. It's so fun to watch her.
Here's Logan with his teacher and class. He loved it! He is a little crazy still and his teacher had to tell him lots of times what to do, but she was patient and just had fun with the kids. He's still pretty hesitant to do some things in the water, but he did try. He puts his face in and eventually jumped off the side into the teachers arms. He mostly just wanted to splash and play the games.
He still had a fat lip here. It was from bowling actually. I'll tell about that in a later post.
This girl Lily helped in Logan and in
Kylee class. She is so sweet. The kids loved her!
They were playing a game here. I'm so glad they got to take lessons!
Hmm? What?
The best part was the free bag of Jelly Belly's you get at the end. The kids were so goofy figuring out which ones were which. We also got quite a few bags of Jelly Flops and Jer and I got a little bag of our favorites. Jer-toasted Marshmallow and coconut. Me-Juicy pear, watermelon and buttered popcorn. Mmm!
Jenna couldn't get enough! At least she was good on the way home!
After we went to an outlet Mall and got the kids some clothes. Uncle Austin got himself some shoes and we got to have McDonald's too! It was even still light out when we got home!
