June 2012: Swim Lessons

Once we settled in from vacation, both of the kids took swim lessons.  This was the summer that both kids really got great at swimming.  Olivia has always been timid in the water but the more she practiced and spent time in the pool, the better she got.  By the end of June, we were all surprised to see her swimming in the deep end! 

Gray also did great at swim lessons.  Of course he was a fish like he always is and the swim teachers were shocked at how brave he was.  They also couldn't believe how long he could hold his breath! By the end of his week of swim lessons, he was doing front flips into the pool. 

 

 

 

I'm thankful they are both good swimmers now and can get themselves out of the pool if they need to.
