Swim Class

This summer I signed the kiddos up for swim lessons.  Classes started the first week of June, and run through this Thursday.  The kiddos have been going on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 to 11 a.m. 

It was a struggle at first.  They didn't want to get in the pool - let alone be spoken to by the instructor!  In the second week, we had made some progress.  I might have mentioned something about not being able to go to Wisconsin Dells if they didn't participate in class...  After returning from the Dells, I might have then bribed them with the stay at Pa and Gram's house...  Needless to say, they have really come a long way, are learning how to be safe in the water, and (dare I say) are enjoying it!

Here's some video of them working on going under water and kicking with noodles.

Here are a few other pictures as well...

Reba floating with help from the noodle only! (Dallas can do this as well, but he was being stubborn at class last week)

After doing great at swim class, we let the kiddos pick something to do as a reward.  They chose to go out for ice cream!  So Cold Stone Creamery it was...

I also found this great deal on a swimming pool while the kiddos were on their stay-cation.  They were pretty excited when they came back home to find the pool was big enough for them plus Momma and Daddy.

Until next time...
